Granted
The Veteran is granted payment for travel expenses incurred to receive wheelchair repairs at the Dallas VAMC in June 2024.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, considering the repair of his wheelchair as 'care' under the Medical Benefits Package and thus eligible for beneficiary travel reimbursement.
