Denied
The Board denied a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of DIC benefits in the amount of $8,863 due to fault on the part of the VA and no undue hardship for the appellant.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not be against equity and good conscience as the VA promptly notified the appellant of the error and provided an opportunity to return the funds.
