The Board has determined that the overpayment of VRAP benefits in the amount of $5,927.87 was validly created due to the Veteran's withdrawal from her educational institute. The appeal for a waiver of this overpayment is granted as it would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran withdrew from her enrollment at Salon Professional Academy, which resulted in the creation of the overpayment. As she was at fault for creating the debt, but there was no evidence of fraud or bad faith on her part, the decision to waive recovery is made based on the principles of equity and good conscience.
