The appellant is not entitled to Dependents' Educational Assistance under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code beyond February 2, 1992.
The deciding factor: The appellant's delimiting date for education benefits was February 2, 1992 due to the termination of her eligibility after ten years from the veteran's death. There is no provision allowing an extension of this delimiting date based on reinstatement of DIC benefits.
