Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA education benefits, finding it would be against equity and good conscience to require repayment due to the Veteran's call to active duty during the pandemic.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's inability to complete his coursework due to military duties supporting the COVID-19 response mission constituted a mitigating circumstance warranting waiver of the overpayment.
