Remanded (sent back)
The character of the appellant's uncharacterized discharge is not a bar to the receipt of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits; to this extent only, the claim is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board finds there is nothing in the record to indicate the appellant's service was dishonorable for VA purposes. There were no acts of misconduct and no disciplinary actions noted in the appellant's service records at all.
