Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to determine whether mitigating circumstances existed for the appellant's nonattendance at Pima Community College and to consider a waiver of recovery of the overpayment of DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: Mitigating circumstances must be addressed by the AOJ, as failure to do so is a correctible error that could aid in substantiating the Veteran's claim.
