The Board has determined that the overpayment of educational assistance benefits in the amount of $7,980.40 is valid based on evidence showing the veteran did not attend classes during his enrollment at RMTU.
The deciding factor: The investigation revealed that the veteran students were enrolled as full-time students solely to collect VA benefits and did not regularly attend classes.
