Dismissed
The appeal concerning entitlement to payment or reimbursement for ambulance transportation provided by Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services Agency on February 1, 2019, was dismissed as the Veteran's Notice of Disagreement was premature.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 Notice of Disagreement was received prior to when the AOJ actually issued the November 2024 decision, making it premature and invalidating the appeal request.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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