The veteran was denied payment of subsistence allowance under the provisions of Chapter 31 because he has not reported to a facility for prescribed activities, enrolled in any training program, or begun any rehabilitation services.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim was denied as he did not meet the criteria for receiving subsistence allowance since he had not participated in any form of vocational, rehabilitation, or training program.
