The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) at a rate in excess of 70 percent due to insufficient qualifying active service.
The deciding factor: The available evidence reflects that the Veteran has between 545 and 729 days of qualifying active service, which corresponds to entitlement at the 70 percent rate. No additional periods of service were found to be qualifying for Chapter 33 purposes.
