Granted
The Board granted payment for the cost of non-VA ambulance travel on May 27, 2025, as it was provided under circumstances that a prudent lay-person would have reasonably believed to be hazardous to the Veteran's health if there were any delay in immediate medical assistance.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the criteria for payment of non-VA emergency services under 38 U.S.C. § 1728, as the services were provided for a service-connected disability and under circumstances that would have been hazardous to life or health if delayed.
