The Board found that the Veteran was not entitled to educational benefits under Chapter 1606, Title 10, United States Code as of October 27, 2004. Therefore, the overpayment of $316.80 created as a result of the payment of educational benefits from October 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004 was validly created and the appeal is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to meet the basic eligibility requirements for education benefits under Chapter 1606 as he left the Selected Reserve on October 27, 2004, making him no longer eligible for benefits. The Board found that termination of the Veteran's benefits was proper and the overpayment amount was valid.
