Denied
The Board concluded that an overpayment of $2,147.50 for education benefits was properly created due to the Veteran's actual attendance being less than reported.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was paid at a full-time rate despite attending only three-quarter time, and the educational institution admitted error in reporting his enrollment status.
