Denied
The Board found that the overpayment of $24,800 was properly created due to the veteran's failure to accurately report his income and net worth. The veteran acted in bad faith by underreporting these details for four years, resulting in a loss to the government.
The deciding factor: The veteran knowingly misrepresented his income and net worth despite being advised of the importance of reporting changes in income.
