Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request to extend the delimiting date for VA educational assistance transferred under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beyond her 26th birthday.
The deciding factor: The law does not allow an extension of this time limit unless certain statutory exceptions apply, which were not present in this case.
