The veteran's claim for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of disability compensation benefits was granted, with the overpayment covered from August 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999.
The deciding factor: The decision found that although there was significant fault on the part of the veteran in not promptly reporting his divorce and remarriage, it would be against equity and good conscience to recover the overpayment for a portion of the period from November 1, 1993 through July 31, 1996.
