The deciding factor: The administrative action for the entire September 2, 2020, and December 1, 2020, episodes of care at issue in this appeal constitutes a reversal of the prior denial and a full grant of the benefit sought in this appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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