Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's eligibility for educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill due to insufficient active-duty service after September 10, 2001.

The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have at least 90 days of qualifying active-duty service after September 10, 2001, nor was he discharged from service due to a service-connected disability after at least 30 continuous days on active duty.
