Denied
The character of the appellant's discharge from service constitutes a bar to the receipt of VA compensation benefits, and both claims for service connection were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the appellant's misconduct was mitigated by compelling circumstances or that his left knee injury had onset in service or was related to an incident of service origin.
