Granted
The veteran is entitled to full reimbursement for unauthorized medical expenses incurred from July 9, 2005, to July 12, 2005.
The deciding factor: VA care was not feasible until the time of the veteran's discharge on July 12, 2005, due to his serious injuries and the need for observation before transfer.
