The Board found that the overpayment of $7,755.60 was validly created due to a fraud scheme perpetuated by sixty Veterans enrolled at Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU), including the Veteran who is the subject of this decision.
The deciding factor: An investigation conducted by both the Manila RO and the VA Office of Inspector General determined that the Veteran students were not regularly attending classes but were receiving course credit in return for buying supplies and other 'gifts' for the school and individual instructors.
