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 30 continuous days of qualifying active duty or that he was discharged from service due to a service-connected disability after at least 30 continuous days on active duty.
