The Board denied the Appellant's claim for Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits in excess of two months, as she had already exhausted her entitlement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran transferred two months of his remaining Chapter 33 entitlement to the Appellant, and she used these two months to begin her first bachelor's degree program. The Board found that without further action by the Veteran, the Appellant is not entitled to more than two months of Chapter 33 benefits.
