The Veteran's private medical treatment incurred from July 10, 2005, to August 5, 2005, was not provided for a condition of such a nature that a prudent layperson would have reasonably expected that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to life or health and VA or other Federal facilities were feasibly available.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support the claim as there is no reasonable expectation that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to life or health, nor are VA or other Federal facilities feasibly available.
