The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran is entitled to VA Chapter 30 educational assistance for the period from August 9, 2000, to February 8, 2001. The decision was based on mitigating circumstances due to issues with the educational institution.
The deciding factor: The Board found that Capitol City Careers' failure to provide adequate resources and staff for the veteran's education constituted a discontinuance of the course by the educational institution, which is considered a mitigating circumstance.
