The Board denied the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of his Chapter 30 educational benefits, finding that repayment would not be against equity and good conscience due to the veteran's fault in accepting full-time benefits he was not entitled to.
The deciding factor: The veteran continued to accept VA educational benefits based on full-time attendance even though he knew or should have known he was not entitled to these benefits.
