The Board denied the Veteran's claim for eligibility for Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill for Selected Reserves (MGIB-SR) due to her separation from the Selected Reserve in August 2014.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's eligibility for Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits terminated on August 18, 2014, based on her separation from the Selected Reserve, and VA is bound by DoD's determination of eligibility.
