The Board has waived the overpayment of $1,108.50 due to undue economic hardship and the VA's fault in not promptly reducing the veteran's benefits upon notification of his incarceration.
The deciding factor: The decision was made based on the evidence showing that the veteran notified VA of his incarceration in a timely manner but the VA failed to reduce his compensation payments accordingly, resulting in an overpayment. The Board found that recovery would subject the veteran to undue economic hardship and thus waived the overpayment.
