Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal as the overpayment of $869.79 in VA compensation benefits was properly created due to the Veteran failing to certify A.P.S.'s school attendance after turning 18 but before graduating from high school.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide certification for A.P.S.'s school attendance within the required time frame, leading to an overpayment which was subsequently removed retroactively.
