The Veteran's claim for a refund of contributions made to the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans' Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) was denied as he had already been refunded his remaining contributions in 2001, and there is no evidence of additional VEAP contributions or entitlement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide sufficient evidence to show that he made additional VEAP contributions after the initial refund in 2001, and VA records do not support his claim for an additional refund.
