Granted
The Veteran's travel expenses for a non-VA medical facility appointment on August 7, 2024, were granted due to the failure of the provider to obtain care or services through no fault of his own.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's refusal to sign financial documents was not at his fault and the appointment cancellation was due to actions by persons acting on behalf of VA.
