§ 105
1986—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 99–576 substituted ‘‘report
to the Administrator’’ for ‘‘report to him’’.

§ 105. Line of duty and misconduct
(a) An injury or disease incurred during active
military, naval, air, or space service will be
deemed to have been incurred in line of duty and
not the result of the veteran’s own misconduct
when the person on whose account benefits are
claimed was, at the time the injury was suffered
or disease contracted, in active military, naval,
air, or space service, whether on active duty or
on authorized leave, unless such injury or dis-
ease was a result of the person’s own willful mis-
conduct or abuse of alcohol or drugs. Venereal
disease shall not be presumed to be due to will-
ful misconduct if the person in service complies
with the regulations of the appropriate service
department requiring the person to report and
receive treatment for such disease.
(b) The requirement for line of duty will not
be met if it appears that at the time the injury
was suffered or disease contracted the person on
whose account benefits are claimed (1) was
avoiding duty by deserting the service or by ab-
senting himself or herself without leave materi-
ally interfering with the performance of mili-
tary duties; (2) was confined under sentence of
court-martial involving an unremitted dishonor-
able discharge; or (3) was confined under sen-
tence of a civil court for a felony (as determined
under the laws of the jurisdiction where the per-
son was convicted by such court).
