Denied
The Board determined that the Veteran's character of discharge from service does not constitute a bar to VA compensation benefits, and denied service connection for a right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a relationship between the Veteran's right ankle disability and his period of service. Additionally, the Veteran was found insane at the time of misconduct leading to his other than honorable discharge, which removed the regulatory bar to VA monetary benefits.
