Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $2,802.00 due to fault on his part and lack of undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to promptly notify VA of his divorce, contributing to the creation of the debt. The Board found that all fault lies with the debtor (veteran).
