Granted
The veteran's application for an extension of the delimiting date for educational assistance benefits was granted due to his inability to pursue a program of education from October 1995 until October 2006, as a result of physical and mental disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence clearly shows that the veteran's disability prevented him from initiating or completing an educational program during the original delimiting period.
