The veteran's spouse is eligible for reimbursement of unauthorized medical expenses incurred from October 20, 2003 to October 24, 2003 due to the lack of available VA facilities and the need for continued private hospital care.
The deciding factor: Basic entitlement for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1725(a)(2) is found as there is no evidence that the appellant paid any of these expenses at issue in this appeal, and she may not be an eligible party under the statute.
