Granted
The veteran's character of discharge does not constitute a bar to VA monetary benefits, and service connection is granted for tinnitus, migraine headaches, and right knee scars.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Appellant's claimed conditions are related to his military service, and compelling circumstances mitigate his in-service misconduct.
