The Board granted payment of the expenses of ambulance services performed by AEMS on July 31, 2018, as they were rendered in a medical emergency involving the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The situation involved acute symptoms of sufficient severity that a prudent layperson would have reasonably expected delay to be hazardous to life or health, and no VA facilities were feasibly available at the time.
