The Board found that the overpayment of $1,795.60 was properly created due to retroactive educational assistance benefits for the veteran's daughter and concluded that recovery would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment in this case would not be against the principles of equity and good conscience as it does not defeat the purpose of paying additional compensation based on children's education pursuits, nor is there evidence of undue hardship or financial imbalance.
