Whole decision: Denied

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.

What this means for you

A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.

What you can do next

Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
