Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request to reinstate eligibility for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, as she had made an irrevocable election of Chapter 33 benefits in October 2020.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to make a proper election between Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 benefits within the required timeframe, making her ineligible for reinstatement under Chapter 30.
