Question on VAMC Care

[Wayne TX]

I am trying to get a straight answer on this question. I have been told once you have exceed 51% in combined disability rating via VA math then a Vet is entitled to full healthcare services at any VAMC without anymore co-pays.  Is this true or BS?!

Yes

I think its S.C. 10% 30% wayne  maybe even lower as I understand it,

 Served in war time or conflict Vietnam included, Been a POW, or has Purple Heart, and or has a catastrophic  disability.

 when veterans first sign up for VA Health Care   veteran will be given a ''priority #  1 thru 8 here is the link to that.

plus additions...low income  ect,,ect,,,

It is true.  This should help:

Toddt, 2nd URL has the answer, I remember when I was 30%, had to pay small co-pay for my medicine, but once rated 100%, pay nothing.

Vern2 2nd URL is only good if you know what comprises each priority group, so you really need both URLs.
