Granted
The Board found that the appellant's discharge from service was honorable and not due to refusal of military duty, wearing uniform, or compliance with lawful orders. Therefore, it is not a bar to receiving VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not refuse to perform military duty, wear the uniform, or comply with lawful orders during his service as a conscientious objector.
