Granted

The appeal for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill was granted as it would be against equity and good conscience to require the Veteran to repay the debt.

The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would cause undue hardship on the Veteran, considering his financial situation and employment status, and would not defeat the purpose of VA education benefits.
