Denied
The Board found that the Veteran's overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits was valid due to her withdrawal from courses and lack of entitlement, despite VA payments. The debt in the amount of $1,573.58 is deemed valid.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not legally entitled to the benefits she received as she withdrew from courses and did not attend them, which made her ineligible for those benefits.
