The Board has granted the veteran's appeal, finding that the overpayment of Chapter 31 benefits was due to sole VA error and thus not properly created. The veteran is entitled to a waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The award of Chapter 31 benefits continued at the time of reinstatement of his Chapter 30 benefits, resulting in an erroneous award that was solely caused by VA's failure to timely terminate the veteran's Chapter 31 benefits.
