Granted
The Board granted the appeal, determining that compelling circumstances mitigate the misconduct leading to the Appellant's other than honorable discharge, thereby allowing VA compensation benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether compelling circumstances mitigated the misconduct leading to the Appellant's discharge, and VA resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the appellant.
