The Board has granted a waiver of recovery for an overpayment in the amount of $12,082.53 resulting from educational benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The decision is based on factors including no indication of fraud or misrepresentation and that recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found that recovery of the overpayment did not violate principles of equity and good conscience, considering factors such as undue hardship, unjust enrichment, and reliance on VA benefits.
