The Board denied the Veteran's request for restoration of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits due to lack of evidence that the institutions were closed or had their approval withdrawn at the time of his enrollment.
The deciding factor: The available evidence did not reflect that the relevant educational institutions were closed or had their approval withdrawn, and thus the criteria for restoration under 38 U.S.C. § 3699 were not met.
