The Veteran's service is not considered qualifying active duty for the purpose of receiving VA pension benefits because it did not meet the 90-day requirement and there was no evidence that she became disabled due to a disease or injury incurred in line of duty during her ACDUTRA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran served less than 90 days as Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) and there is no evidence showing she became disabled due to a disease or injury incurred in the line of duty during this period.
