Granted
The appeal was granted as the overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits in the amount of $2075.77 was due to mitigating circumstances beyond the Appellant's control.
The deciding factor: The debt created by the overpayment was due to mitigating circumstances, such as her spouse's change in duty station, which prevented continuous pursuit of education.
