The Veteran's unauthorized medical expenses incurred from January 14, 2010 to January 19, 2010 for treatment of a fractured left leg were granted as the condition stabilized on January 14, 2010 and he could not have been safely transferred prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition stabilized on January 14, 2010, making it unsafe to transfer him to a VA facility before then.
