Granted
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of non-VA ambulance services provided on October 8, 2021 was granted due to the emergency nature of the situation and his personal liability for the bill.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's ambulance ride met the prudent layperson standards of an emergency and that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to life or health.
