The Veteran's request for an extension of the delimiting date for her Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) educational assistance benefits was denied because she did not exhaust her entitlement on September 23, 2021.
The deciding factor: VA found no evidence that the Veteran was prevented from pursuing her education due to a disability or other extenuating circumstances, and thus an extension of the delimiting date was not warranted.
