Denied
The veteran's claim for reimbursement of educational assistance benefits for two CFA licensing and certification examinations taken in December 2003 and June 2004 was denied because the application was filed more than one year after the exams were taken.
The deciding factor: The regulations require that applications for such reimbursements be submitted within one year of taking the examination, which this veteran did not do.
