The Board found that the veteran's failure to notify VA of his September 1998 divorce and May 1999 remarriage created an overpayment, but waived recovery due to lack of fault on VA's part and undue hardship for the veteran.
The deciding factor: The veteran's failure to report his divorce and remarriage was intentional and resulted in an overpayment. However, there is no evidence of VA fault or undue hardship for the veteran.
