The Veteran's service did not qualify her for VA home loan benefits because she was discharged before completing six years of service, and the reason for discharge (unsatisfactory participant) does not meet the criteria for credit towards service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service ended due to a discharge other than by reason of a service-connected disability, which prevents her from meeting the eligibility requirements for VA home loan benefits.
