The Board denied the veteran's request for an extension of her delimiting date for education assistance benefits under chapter 30, title 38, United States Code due to a lack of medical evidence showing that she was prevented from initiating or completing an educational program during her basic chapter 30 delimiting period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran did not meet the criteria for an extension of the delimiting date as there was no established medical evidence demonstrating that a physical or mental disability prevented her from pursuing education during her basic chapter 30 delimiting period.
