Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for beneficiary travel payments for travel expenses incurred for medical appointments on January 9, 2024; January 19, 2024; and January 26, 2024, due to untimely submission of claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran timely submitted his claims for beneficiary travel benefits after completion of travel to the claimed appointments.
