Denied
The veteran's appeal for enrollment in the VA healthcare system was denied because she did not have a period of active duty service and does not meet the definition of a 'veteran' for purposes of VA medical services and healthcare benefits.
The deciding factor: The appellant served in the U.S. Army Reserves with a period of active duty for training (ACDUTRA), but the evidence does not show she has a period of active duty service.
