The veteran's application for an extension of her basic 10-year period of eligibility for receiving vocational rehabilitation benefits under the provisions of chapter 30, title 38, United States Code was denied by the VA Regional Office (RO). The RO reduced the veteran's delimiting date from January 1, 2000 to March 9, 1999 due to a break in her active duty service between January 1, 1977 and June 30, 1985. As a result, she was not entitled to the extension of benefits.
The deciding factor: The veteran's delimiting date for chapter 30 educational assistance benefits was properly adjusted based on her active duty service break between January 1, 1977 and June 30, 1985.
