Remanded (sent back)
The Board found that the overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 was validly created, and remanded the claim for waiver of recovery to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's withdrawal from coursework did not meet the criteria for an exception to the non-payment of benefits, and there were no mitigating circumstances or administrative errors that would have prevented the overpayment.
