Granted
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of air ambulance expenses incurred on December 26, 2021, was granted based on the criteria met under 38 U.S.C. § 1725.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was severe in nature and a prudent layperson would have reasonably expected that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to his life or health; no VA facility was feasibly available, and the Veteran is financially liable for the emergency treatment.
