Denied
The Board finds that the creation of an overpayment of Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) housing allowance benefits in the calculated amount of $16,136.68 was valid and therefore denies the benefit sought.
The deciding factor: The Veteran received housing allowance benefits during periods of active duty for which he was not legally entitled, and creation of the overpayment was not solely due to VA error.
