Denied
The Veteran's eligibility for education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill was denied because he did not meet the minimum service requirement of 90 aggregate days, excluding entry level and skill training.
The deciding factor: The Veteran served a total of 51 qualifying days, which is insufficient to meet the required 90 days for eligibility under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
