Granted
The Board granted entitlement to payment or reimbursement of unauthorized medical expenses incurred on August 8, 2018 due to the Veteran's emergency condition and the unfeasibility of obtaining treatment from a VA facility.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's condition was severe enough to warrant immediate medical attention, and that the nearest VA facility was not feasibly available given the urgency of his situation.
