The Board denied the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Chapter 30 education benefits in the amount of $1,425 due to fault on the part of the veteran and no fault on the part of VA. The decision also noted that repayment would not result in financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran was at fault for creating the overpayment by unsatisfactory pursuit of training, but there was no fault attributed to VA. Recovery was denied as it did not defeat the purpose of benefits and would not cause undue hardship or unjust enrichment.
