The Board denied the Veteran's request for restoration of Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits due to her inability to complete her program at Brown Mackie College after its closure.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran ended her enrollment before the college closed and there is no authority in the law governing restoration of educational assistance benefits for this reason.
