The Board found the overpayment of $1,024 was validly created due to a failure to inform VA about the appellant's withdrawal from classes in time for mitigating circumstances to apply. The appeal is denied.
The deciding factor: VA did not receive notification of the appellant's withdrawal until after benefits had been paid, preventing the application of mitigating circumstances and reducing the overpayment amount.
