Cir. 2020), rev’g 31 Vet.App. 128 (2019); a person may receive benefits exceeding 48 months, notwithstanding section 3695’s express prohibition; § 21.9635(y) is not consistent with section 3319; 38 U.S.C. § 3319 (authorizing the transfer of unused benefits to a spouse orchildren); the Federal Circuit reversed, interpreting the phrase “may receive” as referring only to an initial calculation of a veteran’s entitlement and not to the amount of benefits that a person may, in fact, receive.
