The Board found that the overpayment of $29,002.40 from February 1, 1989 to April 30, 1992 was solely due to the veteran's fault and not against equity and good conscience. However, the overpayment from May 1, 1992 to August 31, 1993 was primarily due to VA fault and would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The creation of the overpayment during the period of February 1, 1989 to April 30, 1992 was solely due to the veteran's failure to report his wife's income. The Board found that recovery of this portion would not be against equity and good conscience.
