Denied
The Board found that the appellant was not entitled to a monthly housing allowance for the period from May 16, 2016, to June 22, 2016, and thus the overpayment of $965.70 was properly created.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the appellant's rate of pursuit dropped below half-time during the specified period, making her ineligible for a housing allowance under VA regulations.
