The Board has determined that the veteran's actions did not constitute fraud, misrepresentation of a material fact, bad faith, or lack of good faith. The debt is therefore granted as it would be contrary to equity and good conscience to recover the appellant's debt in the amount of $1,187.44.
The deciding factor: The veteran's actions were marginally above the level which would constitute misrepresentation of a material fact, fraud, bad faith, or lack of good faith.
