Denied
The appeal regarding an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill was denied. The veteran's child, who received these benefits, withdrew from coursework after the drop period and did not meet the criteria for mitigating circumstances.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the overpayment was validly created because the appellant was not legally entitled to keep the benefits due to withdrawal after the drop period without mitigating circumstances.
