The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an extension of his delimiting date beyond March 1, 2022, for Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits due to a lack of evidence showing he was prevented from pursuing his education due to any applicable circumstances.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence that the Veteran's school closed by reason of an emergency situation or that the pandemic prevented him from using his Chapter 33 benefits prior to the delimiting date.
