The veteran's claim for an extension of the delimiting date for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code (Montgomery GI Bill) beyond February 25, 2008 was denied because there is no evidence that a physical or mental disability prevented him from completing his education within the otherwise applicable eligibility period.
The deciding factor: The claim was denied as it did not meet the criteria for an extension of the Chapter 30 delimiting period due to lack of evidence of a physical or mental disability preventing completion of education during the basic eligibility period.
