Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits, finding that recovery would not be against principles of equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of fault on VA's part or undue hardship to the appellant, and determined that waiving the overpayment would result in unjust enrichment for the appellant.
