The Board has determined that the appellant's failure to notify the VA of his change in educational status contributed to the creation of an overpayment. The Board finds no indication of undue hardship or unfairness in requiring repayment, and thus denies the waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The appellant was not entitled to subsistence allowance when he was not enrolled in a vocational rehabilitation course, which led to his failure to notify the VA of his change in status, contributing to the overpayment.
