Granted
The Veteran was granted payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred at the Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment on March 26, 2007, as it was determined that a VA facility was not feasibly available and the treatment was rendered in a medical emergency.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's condition was such that delay would have been hazardous to his health, and no VA facility was feasibly available given the circumstances.
