The Veteran's appeal for a higher rate of payment under the Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits was denied as he did not meet the required qualifying service days to receive more than 50% of the maximum benefit level.
The deciding factor: The Veteran served less than 6 months of active duty after September 10, 2001, which is insufficient for a higher rate of payment under Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits.
