The veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code, for the period from August 25, 1999, through December 15, 1999, is denied as the award of Chapter 30 benefits based on her Enrollment Certification received in July 2001 is only available up to 12 months prior.
The deciding factor: The veteran's enrollment period ended more than 19 months before the date of certification and therefore is not subject to retroactive payment of Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits.
