Granted
The Appellant's discharge from service does not constitute a bar to the receipt of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, and he has established status as a veteran for the purposes of receiving VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Air Force Discharge Review Board upgraded the character of the Appellant's other-than-honorable discharge to general, under honorable conditions, which sets aside the bar based on willful and persistent misconduct.
