The appellant's request to extend her delimiting date for receipt of Dependents' Education Assistance under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code was denied as she is beyond the age of 31 and does not meet the statutory exception set forth in 38 C.F.R. § 21.3041(e)(2).
The deciding factor: The appellant reached her 31st birthday before the end of her educational term, making it legally impossible to extend her delimiting date under applicable regulations.
