The Board denied the veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code because his adjusted delimiting date was not beyond January 6, 1996. The veteran did not serve a later period of active duty nor was he prevented from pursuing or completing his program of education due to a disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's eligibility for Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits had been properly adjusted and that the criteria for an extension of the delimiting date were not met.
