Dismissed
The Board denied the extension of time to file an appeal for decisions from June 4, 2021, and July 6, 2021, regarding reimbursement for medical services provided on August 31, 2020.
The deciding factor: The NOD was not timely filed as it was submitted more than one year after the VHA administrative decisions, and no good cause was shown to accept the late filing.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
