The Veteran's appeal for education benefits under various VA programs was denied because she did not meet the eligibility criteria for any of the programs, including failing to serve a minimum of 90 days after September 10, 2001 in active duty or having served full-time National Guard duty.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service record showed that her initial entry into active duty was in 1983 and she did not meet the eligibility criteria for any of the VA education programs due to insufficient service after September 10, 2001 or lack of full-time National Guard duty.
