The Board denied the veteran's claim as the RO correctly reduced his delimiting date for receiving VA Chapter 30 educational benefits by the number of days he was not on active duty between January 1, 1977, and June 30, 1985. The adjusted delimiting date is July 2, 1999.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's eligibility for Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits was reduced by the amount of time he was not serving on active duty during the period beginning January 1, 1977, and ending June 30, 1985.
