Granted
The Board granted payment or reimbursement of non-VA care provided on April 3, 2020, for the Veteran's condition, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether his condition was an emergency under the prudent layperson standard; thus, the benefit-of-the-doubt doctrine is for application.
