The court ruled that travel expenses incurred to obtain a visa for treatment in Finland constituted necessary military injury-related costs under the Military Injury Act. The Accident Insurance Office had initially approved reimbursement for examinations at a military hospital, but the V-Board modified this decision. The court determined that since the medical treatment was mandated by the Military Injury Act, the associated travel costs for the visa were legally required and thus reimbursable.
