Granted

The Board of Veterans' Appeals granted the appeal, allowing the appellant to receive VA compensation benefits despite his other than honorable discharge due to a pattern of misconduct.

The deciding factor: The appellant's service was otherwise sufficiently honest, faithful, and meritorious, and did not constitute persistent willful misconduct that would bar him from receiving VA compensation benefits.
