The Board denied the Veteran's claim for continued eligibility for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits due to his discharge under 'Other Than Honorable' conditions and the expiration of his 15-year eligibility period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was discharged from service in June 2008 under 'Other Than Honorable' conditions, which disqualifies him from receiving Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. His period of eligibility expired on December 19, 2020, and there is no evidence to extend this period.
