Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right ankle condition for compensation purposes due to his discharge being characterized as other than honorable.
The deciding factor: Service connection for VA compensation purposes is not available where the appellant's discharge is found to be dishonorable for VA purposes under 38 C.F.R. § 3.12(d)(2)(ii) for willful and persistent misconduct.
