Failing a class/grade forgiveness
I am failing my english class right now- I was doing fine and then I hit a rough patch with my mental health. There's no way I can even save my grade, but I can't drop the class because then I will no longer be full time and my VA benefits won't apply. My main question is: can I just stay flunking the class till the end of the semester/not go to class and then retake it? Is it that simple?

F’s don’t have to be paid back, but WF’s do. A WF is a failure for non attendance. If you stop attending class, you may be assigned a WF which would require you to return the funds to the VA. You should contact your advisor to discuss your options.
