Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claims for payment or reimbursement of beneficiary travel expenses for medical appointments on June 11, 2024, and July 9, 2024.
The deciding factor: The claims were timely submitted within 30 calendar days after completing the travel, thus the benefit-of-the-doubt doctrine was applied in favor of the Veteran.
