The Board found that the appellant's failure to return a VA Form 21-8960, which certified her school attendance, resulted in an overpayment of $3,464. The COWC determined this was due to the appellant's fault and granted waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that it would be against equity and good conscience to require repayment as the appellant did not receive notice of the proposed reduction or termination of her benefits.
