The Board denied the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of education benefits under Chapter 35, Title 38 U.S.C. due to fault on his part and lack of undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The appellant admitted knowledge that he was not entitled to receive both Chapter 30 and Chapter 35 benefits and continued to accept the payments with full knowledge. The Board found this created undue hardship and unjust enrichment, denying the waiver request.
