Granted
The Board granted the appellant's claim for basic eligibility for VA home loan guaranty benefits based on an exception to the general minimum active-duty service requirement.
The deciding factor: The appellant met the requirements of the exception outlined in 38 U.S.C. § 5303A(b)(3)(F)(ii) due to his pre-existing psychiatric disorder and medical discharge, which did not result from his own willful misconduct but interfered with his performance of duty.
