The Veteran's active duty service was not considered qualifying for Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) education benefits due to her ROTC scholarship obligation, resulting in a denial of the benefit.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's initial four years of service were required to satisfy her ROTC scholarship obligation and are not considered active duty for purposes of determining Chapter 33 benefits. The remaining service was 370 days, which is consistent with the 60 percent rate she has been assigned.
