Granted
The veteran is entitled to an extension of her delimiting date for the award of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code, for a length of time equivalent to the period from August 16, 2004 to December 17, 2004.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran's migraine headaches prevented her from completing an educational program during the fall semester of 2004, which was prior to her delimiting date.
