Denied
The appeal for an extension of the delimiting date for education assistance benefits under Chapter 30 was denied due to lack of evidence supporting a physical or mental disability preventing the veteran from initiating or completing his chosen program within the otherwise applicable eligibility period.
The deciding factor: There is no legal authority to extend the veteran's delimiting date for Chapter 30 benefits as there is no evidence in support of the criteria required for such an extension.
