The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E subsistence allowance payments for a period of enrollment in January and February 2019, as retroactive induction was not warranted due to the Veteran being on an extended evaluation status.
The deciding factor: Retroactive induction is not warranted because the Veteran's case remained on an extended evaluation status during the period at issue, which precludes such induction.
