Denied
The veteran's application for reimbursement of licensing and certification testing fees was denied because the examinations were taken more than one year prior to her application, which is in accordance with VA regulations.
The deciding factor: VA regulations require that educational assistance be awarded within a year of the date of the examination. The veteran's applications were submitted after this period.
