Denied
The appellant does not have verified active military service with the U.S. Armed Forces and is therefore ineligible for VA benefits.
The deciding factor: VA was unable to verify the appellant's active military service with the U.S. Armed Forces, as determined by the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC).
