Is it Possible to Get an Extension to the 10-year Time Limit?

Larry, I’m sorry for your anger, but in our society, we all have to live within a framework of rules and regulations.  What kind of world would it be if all of us did whatever we felt like doing without regard to a societal structure; it would be uncontrolled chaos.

With that said, you may have a recourse to getting you GI Bill back – requesting an extension.  If you had extenuating circumstances that prevented you from using your GI Bill benefit – and you can prove it – you may get an extension.  It is rare when the VA does that, however, occasionally they do. The VA explains what needs to be in your letter and the supporting documentation required.

This is the only hope you have of getting your GI Bill benefits extended, so follow the directions carefully.  If it doesn’t work, then give it up before you end up getting in over your head. Good luck!
