Hi all - I am having a hard time nailing down answers on google, hopefully somebody can help. Background: I went through PEB for PTSD from the Army Guard in March 2013, medically retired with orders dated 3/13/2013. I have some post 9/11 GI bill left, and am thinking about getting an online Masters. VA website currently shows me eligible for 90% benefits, expiring 10/2022 (last active duty DD214 was 10/2007, expires 15 years later).
My questions are -
1) Shouldn't it be 100% eligibility due to medical retirement?
2) Does a chapter 61 retirement after 1/1/2013 eliminate the expiration of benefits under the Forever GI Bill? Or does going through PEB count as active duty, which would put my last active stint after 1/1/13? It would be helpful to have some more time to get this done if possible.
Having trouble answering those questions and so far so is the VA hotline. Thanks very much in advance.
