Denied
The veteran's request for educational benefits for on-the-job training with the Nassau County Police Department from March 2005 to March 2006 was denied because he was already considered qualified due to prior police training.
The deciding factor: The veteran had previously received education benefits for similar training, making him ineligible for further benefits under applicable law.
