The Board found that the VA Chapter 33 educational debt was properly created and that the Veteran's progress in his courses did not remain satisfactory beyond the dates reported by the schools. Therefore, the overpayment was valid and the criteria for waiver of the overpayment were not met.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's progress became unsatisfactory according to UAA standards as of early dates reported by the schools, leading to discontinuation of Chapter 33 benefits and creation of an overpayment.
