The veteran's application for an extension of the delimiting date for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code (Montgomery GI Bill) was denied because it was received after the statutory deadline.
The deciding factor: The application was not timely submitted as the veteran did not file within one year from when his physical disability no longer prevented him from beginning or resuming a chosen program of education.
