The Board found the debt in the amount of $1,539.47 valid and denied waiver of this overpayment due to lack of evidence supporting the Veteran's claims regarding enrollment status.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not submit any evidence to support his contentions that he actually paid for enrollment or books, nor did he provide evidence that the college received the check for the amount owed. The Board found his contentions not credible and thus concluded the debt was valid.
