The Board found that the debt was properly created but waived part of it, specifically the amount resulting from benefits based on marriage between December [redacted], 1994 and October [redacted], 1995.
The deciding factor: The veteran's fault in notifying VA about his second marriage contributed to the creation of the debt. However, his disability prevented him from fully understanding the situation.
