The Veteran was granted an extension of her delimiting date for Chapter 30 education benefits, which was calculated to be nine months and eight days due to a medical infeasibility period from April 25, 2000 to February 2, 2001.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's initial delimiting period ran from February 2, 1991 to February 2, 2001. The AOJ initially granted an extension of four years and eleven months and twenty-three days in August 2005 due to a medical infeasibility period from April 25, 2000 to April 18, 2005. However, the actual extension should have been calculated for the period April 25, 2000 to February 2, 2001, or nine months and eight days. The Veteran's request was granted after a review of her medical records indicating it was medically infeasible for her to complete an education training program from November 2005 to November 2010.
