Granted
The Board granted the appeal, finding that the Appellant's character of discharge for the period of service from June 2013 to May 2016 was honorable and not a bar to VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The DD Form 214 indicated that the first period of service from June 11, 2013 to May 23, 2016, was 'honorable active service,' and the Appellant received medals during this time.
