The Board found that the creation of a debt in the amount of $7,616.23 for overpayment of Chapter 30 education benefits from May 8, 2006 to December 15, 2006 was due solely to administrative error and granted waiver of the entire debt.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's program of study was approved by VA in September 2006. The creation of a debt occurred nearly two years later (July 2008) when VA informed him that on-line programs were not approved for VA training purposes, and advised him of the creation of a debt.
