STEINBERG, Judge,
concurring:
I join in the Court’s order vacating and remanding. I note that the medical care that the appellant is seeking might be available to him were he to obtain an upgrading of his bad conduct discharge to undesirable. See Pub.L. No. 95-126, § 2, 91 Stat. 1106, 1107-08 (requiring that VA health care be provided to person who served on active duty for any disability incurred or aggravated in line of duty even though person is otherwise barred by character of discharge as long as person did not receive bad conduct discharge); 38 C.F.R. § 3.360(b) (2000) (implementing statutory provision).
