Denied
The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of travel expenses incurred as a result of transportation by McDowell EMS on August 27, 2005 was denied due to the claim being filed over 90 days after discharge from the private medical facility.
The deciding factor: The claim failed to meet the filing requirement under 38 C.F.R. § 17.1004(d), which is a necessary condition for eligibility.
