The appeal for payment of educational assistance benefits at a greater rate than the 90 percent level was denied, but the overpayment and resultant debt in the total calculated amount of $1,521.10 was granted as not properly created.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's election to receive Chapter 33 benefits in lieu of Chapter 30 benefits limited his entitlement to the unused portion of benefits under Chapter 30, which was determined to be 22 months and 20 days, corresponding to the 90 percent benefit level.
