The Board denied the veteran's claim for an extension of his basic 10-year period of eligibility for receiving educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code (Montgomery GI Bill), beyond the adjusted delimiting date of March 4, 2004. The decision concluded that the computed delimiting date was proper and that the veteran's eligibility had been reduced by 668 days due to his active duty for training periods.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's eligibility for Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits was properly adjusted to March 4, 2004, based on the reduction in his ten-year period of eligibility due to non-active duty service between January 1, 1977 and June 30, 1985.
