The appeal concerning entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA emergency medical services provided on June 16, 2020, is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The administrative action approving entitlement to payment for the June 16, 2020, episode of care constitutes a reversal of the initial March 2021 denial based on untimeliness and are considered a full grant of the benefits sought in this appeal. No determination remains with which the appellant disagrees.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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