The Board found that a partial waiver of recovery of the overpayment of apportioned benefits in the amount of $1,963.50 representing the amount paid after August 1987 is warranted.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the portion of the overpayment which was created subsequent to August 1987 would be against equity and good conscience due to the RO's knowledge of the divorce at that time, but recovery of the portion attributable to payments from February 1977 through August 1987 is not.
