The veteran's overpayment for May 1996 through June 1997 was waived due to fault, but the remaining overpayment from July 1997 through September 1997 is not against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Fault in creating the overpayment during the period of May 1996 through June 1997 was mitigated by the veteran's lack of contact with his daughter, but fault for July 1997 through September 1997 remains.
