Dismissed
The Board dismissed all appeals for entitlement to payment or reimbursement of beneficiary travel expenses due to untimely filings and lack of a decision on the merits.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 VA Form 10182 was submitted after one year from the July 2023 VHA decisions, and no good cause for an extension was provided.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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