Granted
The Board of Veterans' Appeals granted the veteran status, lifting the bar to receiving VA benefits due to his discharge under other than honorable conditions.
The deciding factor: The Appellant was found insane at the time of misconduct leading to discharge, which lifted the bars based on willful and persistent misconduct and unauthorized absence over 180 days.
