The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have qualifying service as a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, including recognized guerrilla service, and therefore is not eligible for one-time payment from the FVEC Fund.
The deciding factor: The service department certified that the Veteran had no service as a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, including the recognized guerrillas in the service of the Armed Forces of the United States, or in the New Philippine Scouts under Public Law 190, 79th Congress. The requirements for eligibility under the FVEC Fund are specific and do not include the Regular or Old Philippine Scouts.
