Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's income for 2016 exceeded the means test threshold, but her projected income for 2017 was below the threshold. Therefore, the change in her copayment requirement from exempt to required for 2016 is granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's income exceeded the means test threshold for 2016 due to gambling winnings, but projections showed a significant drop in income for 2017 which was below the threshold.
