The veteran's claim for educational benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38 was denied because she did not meet the service requirements for basic eligibility due to her discharge or release from active duty for convenience of the government.
The deciding factor: The veteran served less than the required 30 months of obligated service and was discharged or released from active duty for reasons other than a service-connected disability, which disqualifies her from receiving Chapter 30 educational benefits.
