The appeal seeking payment or reimbursement for the cost of non-VA ambulance transportation provided on September 14, 2020 is dismissed as the claim has been approved and there remains no case or controversy over which the Board may exercise jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: There is no extant evidence that accumulated during the time frame between the October 2020 decision and the January 5, 2021 VA Form 10182, and the claim for reimbursement has been approved.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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