On the information they sent you, is there anything that discloses you have a
right to dispute this, or something similar?

Need more information...

Why exactly were you deemed "Unqualified for Active Duty"?

The service didn't discharge you because they wanted to. You did something to effect the discharge paperwork, regardless of what type of discharge you got.

I would be fighting the recoupment attempt, simply because if you don't you may find your future pay or taxes garnished sometime down the road.

Your original enlistment contract should have the exact terms under which they can recoup payment of the bonus. It's hard to answer your case, as I don't know what you signed. The recoupment terms on an enlistment contract are very specific and should tell you if you have to pay back none, all, or a portion of the bonus.
