Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided on February 28, 2020, was dismissed due to Benefit Recovery not being a proper claimant.
The deciding factor: Benefit Recovery is neither the veteran nor a representative authorized by the veteran and did not furnish the underlying medical services.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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