Granted
The Appellant's character of discharge from service does not constitute a bar to the receipt of VA monetary and healthcare benefits, as his insanity at the time of offenses leading to the discharge removes the regulatory bar.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence supports that the Appellant was insane at the time of the offenses that resulted in his other than honorable discharge from service, which removes the regulatory bar to VA monetary and healthcare benefits.
