The Veteran is granted payment of $52 for the period from June to July 2010 under the Post 9/11 GI Bill, but denied additional payments beyond $207.00 for this period and denied payment in excess of $298.00 for the period from September to October 2010.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tuition and fees were calculated based on her qualifying service after September 10, 2001, which warranted a payment of 50% of applicable education expenses. The financial aid was deducted before calculating the percentage of payment. For June to July 2010, the total cost minus financial aid was $519, with 50% being $259. However, VA only paid $207, leaving a difference of $52.
