The Veteran's eligibility for Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) education benefits was denied because he had already elected Chapter 30 benefits based on his single period of active service from June 2012 to June 2016, and there were no other periods of active service that could qualify him for Chapter 33 benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's application for Chapter 33 education benefits was denied because he had already elected Chapter 30 benefits based on his single period of eligible active service from June 2012 to June 2016, and there were no other periods of active service that could qualify him for Chapter 33 benefits.
