The Veteran's claim for a certificate of eligibility for VA home loan guaranty benefits is granted due to his service-connected right knee disability resulting in his discharge from military service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for the right knee disability, and an exception applies where a veteran is discharged or released because of a service-connected disability.
