Denied
The Board found the creation of an overpayment of Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) housing allowance benefits in the amount of $4,677.44 to be valid and denied the benefit sought on appeal.
The deciding factor: The appellant was not legally entitled to receive a housing allowance under Chapter 33 during periods when her spouse was on active duty, as per VA regulations.
