(a) Educational assistance. Although educational assistance is paid only once in a term, quarter, or semester, VA may discontinue it under the circumstances stated in §21.5835. The discontinuance may cause an overpayment. (See also §21.5838.) If the individual dies during an enrollment period, the provisions of §21.5835(a) will apply, even if other types of discontinuances are involved. In all other cases where more than one type of reduction or discontinuance is involved, the earliest date found in §21.5835 will control.

(b) Subsistance allowance. The effective date of a reduction or discontinuance of subsistence allowance will be as specified in §21.5835. If more than one type of discontinuance is involved, the earliest date will control.
