The veteran's claim for accelerated payment of basic educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill (Chapter 30) was denied because his tuition and fees did not exceed 200 percent of the monthly rate of basic educational assistance allowance otherwise payable.
The deciding factor: The RO calculated that the veteran's tuition and fees did not meet the requirement of exceeding 200 percent of the monthly rate of 'basic educational assistance' allowance, which is part of his entitlement to accelerated payment under Chapter 30.
