Denied
The veteran's request for an extension of the delimiting date to use VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 was denied. The decision is based on the law, which states that the period of eligibility expires 15 years from the last discharge or release from active duty.
The deciding factor: The law specifies that the period of eligibility for Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits terminates 15 years from the date of the last discharge or release from active duty, and none of the circumstances allowing for an extension apply to this veteran.
