Granted
The Board has granted the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of 38 U.S.C.A. Chapter 35 Dependents' Educational Assistance benefits in the amount of $485.57, plus accrued interest and penalty fees.
The deciding factor: The decision concludes that collection of the overpayment would create undue hardship for the appellant and defeats the purpose of providing financial assistance to the appellant for educational purposes.
