A Bad Conduct Discharge, as opposed to a Dishonorable Discharge, is considered a separation under conditions Other Than Honorable. With an OTH discharge, the Department of Veterans Affairs makes the determination as to whether the OTH was based on conditions which would result in the forfeit of any or all VA benefits. The more serious offenses, such as desertion, mutiny, spying, etc., will result in loss of all benefits.

What is the difference between dishonorable discharge and bad conduct discharge?
A dishonorable discharge is the most severe form of punitive discharge from the military and can only be imposed by a general court-martial. It is reserved for the most serious offenses. A bad conduct discharge is considered a less severe form of discharge and can be given by a special or general court-martial for serious misconduct.

How do you determine what your veterans disability benefit will be?
The patient vet doesn't make that determination. The VA does that after examining him. They set the value mark, and it will be done in percentages (%). 10% disabled, etc. Actually, benefits are derived based on the character of the veterans discharge. Once a year the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) publishes a booklet that describes (generally) all the veterans benefits. If a veteran has an honorable discharge, he/she is eligible for all (should he/she meet the requirments). If he/she has a general discharge, the veteran is not eligible for education benefits (GI Bill). If the Veteran has an "other than honorable" discharge, it is up to the DVA to determine if he/she will be paid for compensation for service connected disabilities and will determine if the other benefits will be paid out as well. If the veteran has a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), he/she can be buried in a Veteran Cemetary but isn't eligible for much else. A dishonorable discharge excludes the veteran from all benefits. It is a misconception that if you get less than an honorable discharge that your whole time in the service is characterized by the listed character of discharge. An example would be: Let's say an individual was selling drugs and was given a BCD discharge. It was determined by the evidence he was selling in the last six months of his/her service. If he/she had served three years prior to that, that service is considered honorable. The Veteran needs to apply for benefits for that three year period which is deemed HONORABLE, thus all benefits would apply.
