Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, finding that recovery would not be against the principles of equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's ability to repay the debt without undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The fault on the Veteran’s part contributed to the creation of the debt, but he has the financial means to repay it without resulting undue hardship.
