Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's income exceeded the means test threshold for 2016, but was below it in 2017. Therefore, treatment without copayment is granted for 2016.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's income from gambling winnings did not recur and his total income for 2017 was substantially less than the means test threshold.
