The Board denied the Veteran's request for an extension of the delimiting date beyond November 9, 2023, for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 due to a lack of evidence showing that his disability prevented him from initiating or completing his program of education.
The deciding factor: The record does not show any exception to the expiration of the Veteran's period of eligibility for Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits on November 9, 2023, and the employment he engaged in did not meet the criteria for medical infeasibility to pursue training.
