The Board has granted the appellant's claim for a refund of $1,750.00 from his VEAP contributions due to inconsistencies in the record regarding which RO might have issued any refund check.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there are inconsistent documents and statements by representatives at VA offices regarding which office may have actually issued the check, leading to a finding that the appellant did not receive any VEAP refund that may have been issued in 1982.
