Denied
The Veteran's claim for basic eligibility for educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill was denied because she did not complete her four-year ROTC service obligation and therefore, does not meet the requirements for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have additional active service after completing her four-year ROTC obligation to qualify for Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits.
