Q: Where in the CFR can I find the VA regulations for travel expenses when sent to another city for surgery and follow-up appointments?
Answer:
VA travel benefits are covered under 38 CFR § 70. Mileage, lodging, and meals are reimbursed if pre-authorized, but amounts are capped (lodging per night, meals at federal per diem rates). See 38 CFR 70.30–70.32 for reimbursement rules. Save all receipts and work with your VA travel office to file your claim.
