Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher rate of payment of educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, as his aggregate length of creditable active duty service did not meet the required criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service at the United States Military Academy and the period following graduation were excluded from qualifying active duty service for Chapter 33 benefits purposes. Only 344 days of service qualified, which corresponds to a 60 percent rate of payment.
