Denied
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of education expenses due to an erroneous certificate of eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill is denied because he does not qualify for benefits under the program and there is no provision for reimbursement.
The deciding factor: VA law and regulations do not provide for reimbursement for ineligible educational expenses when a veteran has relied on erroneous VA information.
