Krauseneck v Department of the Army – 20.07

CIRCUIT COURT HOLDING: When a person is honorably discharged from military service before completing 365 days or more of continuous service, and that individual was discharged for being medically unfit, he or she is eligible for benefits. But if the reason for the honorable early discharge had been failure to meet physical standards, i.e. height, weight or physical fitness, then the person would be ineligible for benefits.
