Denied
The appellant's discharge from service was due to a bad conduct discharge resulting from willful and persistent misconduct, which constitutes a bar to the receipt of VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The appellant's misconduct was deemed willful and persistent, as evidenced by his guilty pleas and waiver of further proceedings, and thus the discharge is considered under dishonorable conditions for VA benefit purposes.
