Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request for an extension of her Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits beyond July 6, 2015, finding that she had exhausted her entitlement by July 6, 2015. The decision is based on VA adjusting the date of exhaustion due to changes in credit hours and tuition fees.
The deciding factor: VA adjusted the date of exhaustion based on changes in the number of credits taken and tuition fees charged during the school term from June 29, 2015, to August 24, 2015.
