The Veteran's claim for VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 in excess of 11 months and 5 days is granted, subject to the statutory cap of 48 months of aggregate benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has additional periods of active-duty service that qualify him for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits, and he previously used some MGIB benefits which must be counted toward Chapter 33 benefits.
