The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under the VRRAP, finding that recovery would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that there was no fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the Veteran, but that recovery of the overpayment would not result in undue hardship or defeat the purpose of the benefit program. The Veteran received financial benefits to which he was not entitled, creating an unfair gain.
