Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, Title 38 of the United States Code (Post-9/11 GI Bill) due to insufficient qualifying active duty service.
The deciding factor: The available records showed that the Veteran served a total of 40 days either on active or inactive duty in 2001, which was short of the 90 days required for eligibility. There was no evidence supporting his contention of being medically separated from service due to a service-connected disability.
