Granted
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of non-VA ambulance services incurred on March 11, 2024, is granted due to the emergency nature of the situation and the unavailability of a VA facility.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's condition met the prudent layperson definition of an emergency where delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to life or health, and a VA facility was not feasibly available.
