Denied

The Veteran's means test eligibility category for copay in the VA healthcare system was properly denied as his attributable household income exceeded the VA National Means test threshold.

The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's income for 2022 exceeded the threshold, thus denying him treatment without copay.
