TITLE 38 PENSIONS, BONUSES, AND VETERANS RELIEF
Chapter I Veterans Administration P art 3V eterans C laims LIN E OF DUTY

A new 3.1508 is added to read as fol lows:
3.1508 Instructions relating to line of duty, a For the purposes of section 5, Public Law 339, 81st Congress, approved October 10, 1949, the following instruc tions are issued:
1 Section 5, Public Law 339, 81st Congress, provides: That paragraph VIII of Veterans Regulation Numbered 10, as amended by Public Law 439, Sev enty-eighth Congress, is hereby further amended by striking out the period and substituting a colon therefor and adding the following: Provided, however, That disease, injury, or death incurred without wilful misconduct on the part of the serv ice person shall be deemed to have been incurred in lineof duty if the sentence of the court martial did not involve an un remitted dishonorable discharge or if the offense for which convicted by civil court did not involve a felony as defined under the laws of the jurisdiction where the service person was convicted by such civil court.
- 2 Hereafter, every disease, injury or death incurred without wilful miscon duct on the part of the service person while in confinement under sentence of a court-martial or a civil court will be deemed to have been incurred in line of duty unless the court-martial sentence involved an unremitted dishonorable dis charge or, in the case of officers, separa tion under similar conditions, or the sentence of the civil court involved con viction of a felony, as defined by the laws of the jurisdiction where the person was convicted. The provisions of this subparagraph will apply equally to those instances where the disability occurs during confinement prior to the actual remission of the dishonorable discharge, or separation under similar conditions:
Provided, of course, That the dishonor able discharge or separation under simi lar conditions is subsequently remitted.
Despite the remission of the dishonorable discharge or separation under similar conditions, there must always be borne in mind the necessity of determining under established criteria whether the presently existing discharge was under other than dishonorable conditions. If it was under dishonorable conditions, a statutory bar to entitlement exists. The determination whether the offense for which the veteran was convicted by a civil court constituted a felony will, in other than obvious cases, be made by the chief attorney of the regional office lo cated in the state in which the civil court is also located, except in central office cases the determination will be made by the solicitor.
3 Those cases previously disallowed because the disability or death was not incurred in line of duty, having occurred while the veteran was in confinement pursuant to the sentence of a courtmartial or civil court, but in which a
