There should be T&Cs on the voucher that explains its limitations. In my experience, most $$ vouchers DO allow for mileage accrual, which is why many people opted for $$ Travel Credits rather than the standard DBC Free when they were VDBing from a flight. The dollar amount travel credits allowed for mileage accrual, but the DBC Free (which was just a generic RT within certain booking classes) did not allow for mileage accrual.
