The Veteran's travel reimbursement for medical appointments at Erie VAMC on September 10, 2025 and September 27, 2025 is granted. The Board found that the treatment received was not available at the nearest VA facility (Olean VA clinic), so mileage reimbursement from his residence to the Erie VAMC is allowed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's travel to the Erie VAMC for medical appointments on September 10, 2025 and September 27, 2025 was deemed necessary due to the lack of availability of the required services at the nearest VA facility (Olean VA clinic).
