The Board has determined that $1,451 of the overpayment should be waived due to the veteran's age and financial situation, while requiring repayment of $1,200 would not violate the principles of equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Waiver of $1,451 of the overpayment is reasonable given the veteran's age and financial hardship, while requiring repayment of $1,200 would allow for a more manageable repayment period without depriving him of basic necessities.
