The Board denied the Veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill due to not meeting the service requirements.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the basic eligibility requirements for Chapter 30 education benefits as his discharge was not honorable and he did not serve at least two years of continuous active duty during any period of service.
