The veteran's pursuit of a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer program from October 5 to December 2, 1998 was covered by Chapter 32 educational benefits at the maximum allowable rate. The claim is denied as there is no legal basis for additional payment.
The deciding factor: The applicable laws and regulations do not permit payment of increased educational benefits under Chapter 32 for the veteran's pursuit of a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer program in excess of what was already paid by the RO.
