The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for education assistance benefits under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 33 Post-9/11 GI Bill based on his period of service from November 2016 to August 2020, as that same period was already used for Chapter 30 benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's single period of service after August 1, 2011 cannot be used to establish separate entitlement to both Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits due to the bar on duplication of eligibility under 38 U.S.C. � 3322(h)(1).
