The Board denied the Veteran's claim for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 33 for an ISSEP online self-paced training course as the course was not approved by VA.
The deciding factor: The ISSEP online training course with ISC2 was not approved by the appropriate approving agency for educational assistance with VA, and thus, the Veteran cannot receive Chapter 33 education benefits for this course of study.
