Granted
The Veteran is granted reimbursement for mileage associated with travel to a medical appointment on December 30, 2021 at the Boise VAMC. Reimbursement for lodging and meals is denied due to lack of prior approval.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran met the basic eligibility criteria for beneficiary travel benefits and that his claim for mileage reimbursement was timely, and VA erroneously scheduled him for a medical appointment at the Boise VAMC beyond his nearest VA medical facility in southern California.
