Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, as it would be against equity and good conscience to require repayment due to unforeseen events beyond his control.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the debt would constitute an undue hardship for the Veteran given his service-connected disabilities and the tragic events that occurred during his enrollment period.
