The Board denied the appellant's request for an extension of the delimiting date for education benefits under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code, beyond April 29, 1991. The decision states that there is no evidence to show she was factually incapable of filling out and mailing an application for a chosen course of education prior to the delimiting date.
The deciding factor: The appellant's request for extension of the delimiting period beyond April 29, 1991, must be denied due to lack of evidence showing she had disabilities prior to that date which made her physically incapable of filling out an application or mentally incapable of the thought needed to contact VA.
