Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for education benefits under Chapter 33 in excess of the 90 percent rate due to insufficient qualifying active service, and the Veteran was only entitled to the 90 percent rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have at least 36 months of qualifying active service or a discharge due to a service-connected disability for Chapter 33 benefits.
