Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's request for an extension of his eligibility period for use of Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits, as he did not submit a request within one year after the original delimiting date or after recuperating from disability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide good cause for extending the time limit and was not eligible under any applicable exceptions to the extension rules.
