The veteran's claim for eligibility to receive Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 3018C was denied because the $2,700 payment required for eligibility had not been collected by November 25, 2002.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim was denied as he did not meet the eligibility requirement of having his basic pay reduced or making a lump-sum payment of $2,700 prior to November 25, 2002.
