Denied
The veteran's service in the Selected Reserve did not meet the minimum requirement of at least 6 years, resulting in denial of VA loan guaranty benefits.
The deciding factor: The veteran served less than 6 years in the Selected Reserve and thus does not satisfy the eligibility criteria for VA home loan guaranty benefits.
