The Board found that the debt was validly created and denied the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The veteran was overpaid educational benefits due to taking more units than he was entitled to, based on VA records from compliance surveys conducted at his school. The Committee on Waivers and Compromises found that the debt was validly incurred and denied the waiver claim.
