Denied
The Veteran's appeal for additional Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) education benefits after November 4, 2016 was denied as he had already exhausted his entitlement to VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had already exhausted his Chapter 33 entitlement and the appeal is based on a legal issue rather than service connection or exposure claims.
