The Board found that the overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits in the amount of $15,962.44 for MHA between September 2012 and December 2013 was validly created due to the Veteran's rate of pursuit towards a program of education being less than 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the overpayment was valid because the Veteran's rate of pursuit towards a program of education was less than 50% during the specified period, resulting in full-time enrollment payments at a reduced rate.
