Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a delimiting date beyond August 31, 2018, for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 due to lack of qualifying active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an extension of the 15-year delimiting date for Chapter 33 benefits as no applicable exceptions were met.
