Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical expenses related to McCowan Clinical Laboratory, Mid Valley Ambulance, and Winston-Dillard Fire Ambulance was dismissed due to the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: As a matter of law, appellants' claims do not survive their deaths. Appeals pending before the Board when an appellant dies must be dismissed without prejudice.
