The appeals for reimbursement of beneficiary travel expenses associated with VA appointments on October 14, 2020, and January 14, 2021, are dismissed as the claims were resolved during the pendency of the appeal.
The deciding factor: There is no remaining allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration in the present appeal, as the AOJ has reviewed and administratively approved payment for the beneficiary travel expenses.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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