Granted

The Veteran is granted eligibility to enroll in VA healthcare due to meeting the criteria for an exception under 10 U.S.C. § 1171.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's discharge was within one year of his enlistment expiration and thus qualifies him for an exception to the minimum active duty requirement under 10 U.S.C. § 1171.
