Update and Clarify Regulatory Bars to Benefits Based on Character of Discharge
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations regarding character of discharge determinations. VA proposes to modify the regulatory framework for discharges considered ``dishonorable'' for VA benefit eligibility purposes, such as discharges due to ``willful and persistent misconduct,'' ``an offense involving moral turpitude,'' and ``homosexual acts involving aggravating circumstances or other factors affecting the performance of duty.''
