The Insurance Court allowed the full recovery of 8,478 marks of study grant paid to a student who declared excess income only after receiving a clarification request. The court determined that because the funds were already disbursed, the period in question could not be retroactively excluded from the grant eligibility. Consequently, the study grant appeal board's decision to recover the entire overpayment was upheld without modification.
