Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for additional Legacy S-DVI benefit policy under 38 U.S.C. § 1922 as he is already in receipt of a Legacy S-DVI policy and does not meet the criteria.
The deciding factor: The statute clearly provides that insurance is available to veterans 'found by the Secretary to be suffering from a disability or disabilities for which compensation would be payable if 10 per centum or more in degree,' and the Veteran's application did not meet this requirement.
