The Board denied the veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under Title 38, United States Code, Chapter 30 or Chapter 34 due to his ineligibility based on the expiration of his eligibility period and failure to meet conversion criteria.
The deciding factor: The veteran was not eligible for educational assistance benefits under either Chapter 30 or Chapter 34 as he did not meet the active duty requirements, had no remaining Chapter 34 benefits to convert, and his eligibility expired on December 31, 1989.
