The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses from July 10 to July 16, 2008 was denied because the evidence showed that he was stable enough to be transferred to a VA facility by July 10, 2008.
The deciding factor: VA determined that the Veteran's condition had stabilized on July 10, 2008, allowing for transfer to a VA facility.
