Does a veteran who served from February 15th to June 30th, 1998 meet the service requirements for disability pension if he was administratively discharged?

To understand the correct answer, it is essential to recognize the eligibility criteria for a veteran's disability pension. The law typically requires that veterans have served a minimum period of active duty, which is often established as 24 months, to qualify for certain benefits like the disability pension.

In this case, the veteran served from February 15th to June 30th, 1998, which amounts to approximately four and a half months of active duty. This duration falls short of the 24-month requirement necessary to establish eligibility for the disability pension benefit.

The nature of the veteran's discharge, whether honorable or administrative, does not change the fact that the duration of service is insufficient. Thus, regardless of any details regarding the honorable discharge status or administrative discharge, the key factor remains the length of service, which does not meet the necessary threshold for the pension eligibility under the established guidelines.
