The Board has found that the appellant's character of discharge from military service is no longer under other than honorable conditions and has been upgraded to under honorable conditions. As a result, the veteran is now eligible for VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the upgrade in the appellant's discharge status from 'other than honorable' to 'under honorable' conditions by the Board for Corrections of Naval Records (BCNR) sets aside any prior bar to benefits imposed under 38 C.F.R. § 3.12(c), (d).
