Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a refund of a VA funding fee of $3,547.50 financed as part of a VA Guaranteed Home Loan because he did not begin receiving disability compensation until after his funding fee was incurred.
The deciding factor: The funding fee can only be waived if the veteran was actually receiving compensation at the time he incurred the funding fee, which in this case, the Veteran did not start receiving until June 22, 2018, after the loan closed on November 12, 2010.
