Years ago, veterans who are either experiencing a non-service-connected condition or had contracted an illness not linked to their service were eligible to receive care from VA hospitals as long as they were willing to make copayments for the care. They were, however, required to follow the VA thresholds of the combined income and net worth, and they will only be deemed eligible if these were above the VA’s requirements.
