The Veteran is granted reimbursement for mileage associated with travel to a non-VA medical appointment on December 18, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran met the eligibility criteria and the claim was timely submitted. The Board finds that reimbursement is warranted for the roundtrip mileage driven by the Veteran from his residence to the scheduled medical appointment in Aspen, less the mileage previously reimbursed based on the mileage calculation to Edwards.
