The veteran's appeal is denied as she does not meet the eligibility criteria for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not serve her full obligated period of active duty and was discharged due to a preexisting condition (pregnancy) or convenience of the government after serving less than 30 months. She also did not meet other eligibility criteria such as hardship discharge or involuntary separation.
