Granted
The Veteran's overpayment of Chapter 33 Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits is waived due to undue financial hardship, as recovery would deprive him and his family of basic necessities.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would create further significant financial hardship for a 100% disabled Veteran and his family who are unable to meet their monthly expenses.
