The Board has determined that the appellant should be granted waiver of an overpayment of chapter 35 educational assistance in the amount of $2,489.66 due to the error made by VA and the appellant's lack of fault.
The deciding factor: Requiring repayment would result in undue hardship for the appellant as it would defeat the purpose of the education assistance program and deprive her of financial resources needed to complete her education.
