Denied
The veteran's claim for an extension of the delimiting date for educational assistance benefits beyond January 10, 1998 was denied as he did not meet the eligibility criteria within the appropriate time period.
The deciding factor: The veteran's active duty service did not occur during the extended eligibility period and his application was submitted after the delimiting date of January 10, 1998.
