The Board has determined that the overpayment of $1,027.34 in Chapter 35 educational assistance benefits was properly created due to the appellant's receipt of nonpunitive grades for developmental classes and denied her request for a waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The appellant was solely at fault in creating the overpayment as she received nonpunitive grades that did not count towards graduation, which resulted in an overpayment. The VA took prompt action to terminate benefits upon learning of this issue.
