The Veteran's claim for a second extension in the delimiting date for the period from July 2004 until July 2006 was denied because he did not meet the legal requirements to qualify for this benefit.
The deciding factor: There is no provision in the law which allows for an extension of the delimiting period for any reason other than a physical or mental disability, and the evidence does not support that the Veteran was prevented from completing his chosen program of education due to such a disability.
