The Board has determined that the veteran is eligible for treatment in the VA health care system without a co-payment requirement beginning on December 6, 2002 due to his income and net worth.
The deciding factor: The veteran's income was below the required limits for cost-free VA health care in both 2002 and 2003, and his net worth did not exceed reasonable levels that would consume part of his estate for maintenance purposes.
