The Board denied the Appellant's claim for additional payment of benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) for a period of enrollment between July 7, 2008 and July 11, 2008. The Appellant was only entitled to reimbursement based on the full-time monthly rate prorated for the days he was enrolled.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Appellant was only entitled to a portion of the full-time monthly rate due to his enrollment period being less than one month, and thus did not warrant additional payment under Chapter 30 of Title 38 United States Code (MGIB).
