The Veteran's application for Chapter 33 education benefits for a course of training at Holyoke Fire Department starting in October 2005 was denied due to the Veteran not being eligible as his delimiting date had passed and he already received Chapter 30 benefits for the same period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's application was denied because it was submitted more than one year after his delimiting date for Chapter 33 education benefits, and he cannot receive both Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 benefits concurrently for the same time period.
