Dismissed
The appeal regarding entitlement to DEA benefits under Chapter 35 for a course of study from August 2018 is dismissed due to the appellant filing a Higher Level Review (HLR) and the issue already being addressed in a separate Board decision.
The deciding factor: The matter lacks jurisdiction as there is no valid Notice of Disagreement, and the issue has been previously adjudicated by the Board.
