Granted

The Veteran's delimiting date for Chapter 33 education benefits was extended beyond August 1, 2017, due to his detention and removal from the United States by the Department of Homeland Security.

The deciding factor: The extension was granted based on the Veteran being detained and removed from the U.S., which prevented him from pursuing a program of education during his eligibility period.
