The Board denied the Veteran's claim for overpayment of Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) education benefits, finding that the Veteran is still liable for the total amount of $2,979.42 educational debt because he did not attend the courses after his withdrawal.
The deciding factor: The Board found that since the Veteran received punitive grades as a result of his withdrawal from his courses, his overpayment would be reduced effective the date on which the withdrawal occurred.
