Granted
The Board granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, finding that recovery would be against the principles of equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's financial difficulties.
The deciding factor: Recovery would result in undue hardship given the Veteran's reported monthly expenses exceeding his income, and there is no evidence of fault on VA's part or that recovery would defeat the purpose of the benefits.
