The Board found that the overpayment was not properly created for a portion of the period from February 1997 through March 1999, and the remaining overpayment was properly created. The veteran's intentional failure to report his income resulted in an overpayment, which is denied due to bad faith.
The deciding factor: The veteran intentionally failed to accurately report his income beginning in April 1999, resulting in a valid overpayment of $12,714.
