The Board has granted a waiver of overpayment for $1,142.78 due to mitigating circumstances related to the veteran's service-connected back and stomach disabilities. The overpayment of $320.73 was denied as it resulted from the veteran's failure to inform VA about his withdrawal from a course.
The deciding factor: The veteran had medical problems that constituted mitigating circumstances, which allowed for waiver of the overpayment of $1,142.78. The overpayment of $320.73 was not waived as it resulted from the veteran's failure to inform VA about his withdrawal.
