The Board has granted a waiver of recovery for an overpayment of compensation in the amount of $1,624. The veteran's fault in creating the overpayment is acknowledged, but it was also determined that recovery would cause significant financial hardship and defeat the purpose for which benefits are paid.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would result in significant financial hardship on the veteran and his family, defeating the purpose for which compensation benefits are provided.
