Granted

The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, finding that recovery would cause undue financial hardship to the Veteran and his family.

The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment was found to be against principles of equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's demonstrated financial hardship.
