The Veteran attempted to transfer 12 months of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to her daughter, but revoked the election within 30 days. The Board found that she did not make an irrevocable election for educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill in lieu of benefits under Chapter 30.
The deciding factor: The Veteran revoked her August 2018 election to transfer entitlement of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to her daughter within 30 days, thus not making an irrevocable election for educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill in lieu of benefits under Chapter 30.
