The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for basic eligibility for education benefits under Chapter 33 due to insufficient active-duty service days.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the required 90 aggregate days of qualifying active duty after September 10, 2001, and there was no evidence showing she was discharged from active duty due to a physical or mental disorder.
