Partly granted
The Board granted the Veteran's timely request for a waiver of an overpayment of VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, but remanded the issue of whether a waiver is warranted to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises.
The deciding factor: The delay in receipt of notification due to Hurricane Ida was considered beyond the Veteran's control, extending the 180-day period for filing a timely request for waiver. The merits of the waiver request will be adjudicated by the COWC.
