Granted
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of non-VA ambulance services on February 28, 2020, was granted due to the emergency nature of the treatment and the unavailability of a VA facility.
The deciding factor: The Veteran met the criteria for payment or reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 as her condition required immediate medical attention and a VA facility was not feasibly available.
