The Board found that the overpayment of Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits in the amount of $33,002.80 for the period from June 1999 to October 2002 was not properly created and dismissed the issue of waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the finding that there was no overpayment due to a scheme involving veterans participating in a complicated scheme at RMTU, wherein the school would give credit for classes they failed to attend in return for financial and material gifts from the veterans. The Veteran was not found to be an active participant.
