Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits in the amount of $4,489.22 due to failure to re-enlist within one year and acceptance of benefits after termination.
The deciding factor: Recovery would result in unjust enrichment as the veteran accepted benefits he was not entitled to.
