The Board denied the Veteran's claim for basic eligibility to educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill due to a lack of qualifying active duty service after September 10, 2001.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the Veteran had at least 90 aggregate days of qualifying active duty service or 30 continuous days on active duty followed by discharge due to a service-connected disability after September 10, 2001.
