Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for basic eligibility to educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 of Title 38, as his application was submitted after the expiration of the 15-year delimiting date.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an extension of the delimiting period beyond July 19, 2023, and there were no qualifying circumstances to warrant such an extension.
