Denied
The Veteran's claim for a refund of contributions made to the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans' Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) is denied as there is no evidence that he had an active VEAP account.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence found by DOD personnel indicating the Veteran had an active VEAP account, despite his DD Form 214 showing him as a contributor.
