The Veteran is granted additional VA educational assistance benefits under the Post 9/11 GI Bill for an additional 12 months, subject to a statutory cap of 48 months of aggregate benefits.
The deciding factor: The law allows the Veteran to receive entitlement under both Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 programs, subject to a 36-month cap on utilization of each program and a 48-month overall cap. The Veteran's remaining entitlement under Chapter 30 must be counted toward entitlement under Chapter 33 for each month (or partial month) of unused entitlement under Chapter 30.
