The veteran's application for enrollment in the VA healthcare system was denied as he is not eligible due to his status as a non-service-connected veteran and the financial information provided.
The deciding factor: The veteran does not have any service-connected disabilities, which places him in priority group 8. As of January 17, 2003, veterans in priority group 8 who were not already enrolled could apply for enrollment. The veteran's application was received after this date and he is therefore ineligible.
