The Board denied the veteran's daughter's request for an extension of her delimiting date for Chapter 35 educational assistance, finding that she did not suspend her education due to conditions beyond her control and thus did not meet the legal criteria for such an extension.
The deciding factor: The appellant initiated her program of education nearly six years after eligibility began due to medical reasons, but continued without suspension until her delimiting date. The late initiation was not a valid basis for extending the delimiting date under VA regulations.
