The Board denied the Veteran's claim for additional Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits because he had already exhausted his total 36 months of combined Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 benefits.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's irrevocable election to use Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits in lieu of remaining MGIB benefits, limiting him to a total of 36 months of education benefits.
