The Veteran's eligibility period for VA educational assistance benefits was extended beyond October 5, 2022, due to his service-connected PTSD preventing him from initiating or completing his chosen program of education.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran was prevented from initiating or completing his chosen program of education from November 20, 2008, through July 1, 2022, because of a mental disability not the result of his own willful misconduct.
