Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because there was no determination by VA on the matter of entitlement to payment or reimbursement of expenses for non-VA medical services performed from November 24, 2024, to January 26, 2025.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to the lack of a prior VA decision regarding the expenses of medical services received from November 24, 2024, to January 26, 2025.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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