The Board has determined that the Veteran is entitled to education MHA benefits at the in-residence rate for his course of study at NYU. The case is remanded to determine if there is a remaining overpayment debt due to changes in the classification of the Veteran's student status from full-time to less than full-time.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's program of study was comprised of both distance learning and in-residence instruction, warranting an education MHA at the in-residence level throughout his course of study. The case is remanded for further review and accounting of overpayment or underpayment.
