The appeal concerning entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided on February 10, 2021, was denied, and the appeal concerning entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided on December 22, 2020, was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Board found no legal basis for reimbursement as the February 10, 2021, services were not authorized by VA and the December 22, 2020, services had been administratively approved while the appeal was pending.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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