Granted
The Board granted payment or reimbursement for unauthorized medical expenses incurred by City of San Angelo, Texas on November 9, 2020 due to the emergency nature of the treatment and the unfeasibility of obtaining VA treatment in a timely manner.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was severe enough that delay would have been hazardous to his life or health, and VA facilities were not feasibly available at the time of the medical event.
