Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Appellant's February 22, 2024, request for an extension of time to file an appeal from a VHA decision issued on August 12, 2020, that denied reimbursement for medical services provided from July 16, 2020, to July 20, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Board found no question of law or fact for resolution as the extension request was already granted in May 2023.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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