The Board has granted the veteran's request for an extension of his delimiting date for educational assistance under Chapter 1606, Title 10, United States Code, based on his service during the Persian Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The veteran served on active duty during the Persian Gulf War and is therefore entitled to an extension of his delimiting date for use of Chapter 1606 educational assistance equal to the period of active duty authorized by 10 U.S.C. § 12301(d) or its predecessor section plus four months.
