The veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment in the amount of $1,547.00 was denied because he was at fault in creating the overpayment by providing incorrect information to VA and accepting benefits to which he was not entitled.
The deciding factor: The veteran's actions were found to be free of fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith, but he was solely at fault for causing the debt due to his incorrect reporting and acceptance of unwarranted benefits.
