Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits because he used his service to establish eligibility for and received benefits under Chapter 30, thus disqualifying him from receiving additional benefits under Chapter 33.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the rule against duplication of eligibility for education benefits based on a single period of service after August 1, 2011.
