The Board has granted a partial waiver of the overpayment, allowing the appellant to repay half ($3,630) of the $7,260 overpayment. The remaining amount is denied.
The deciding factor: The decision balances the appellant's fault in failing to promptly notify VA of her income change and her unjust enrichment against the financial hardship that would result from requiring repayment of the entire amount.
