Dismissed
The appeal for reimbursement of unauthorized non-VA medical expenses incurred from July 2018 to May 2021 was dismissed due to the lack of a pending claim at the time of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: There was no pending claim for medical reimbursement prior to the Veteran's death, and accrued benefits are not payable on this medical reimbursement claim as a matter of law.
