Granted

The Board granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 35, finding that recovery would be against principles of equity and good conscience.

The deciding factor: Recovery was found to be against principles of equity and good conscience due to the appellant's reduced fault and undue hardship, despite some fault on VA's part.
