Granted
The Board granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Chapter 33 educational assistance benefits in the amount of $35,868.90 due to no indication of fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith and because recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Recovery was found to be against equity and good conscience given that there was no fault on the part of the appellant in creating the debt and collection would result in undue hardship for her family.
