The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided from January 25, 2020 to January 29, 2020 was dismissed due to the improper claimant filing a Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Board found that 'Benefit Recovery' is not a proper claimant as it did not furnish the underlying medical services and does not qualify under VA regulations as a representative or health care provider.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
