The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of LAC tests administered on September 22, 2009 and October 29, 2009, as well as two Project Management and Lean Management tests taken on November 22, 2009, was denied because the tests were not approved by the SAA at the time of administration.
The deciding factor: The LAC tests were not approved by the SAA when administered in September and October 2009. The Project Management and Lean Management tests had not yet sought approval from the SAA at the time of administration.
