Granted
The Board granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of $762.00 in apportionment of the Veteran's VA benefits to the appellant on behalf of his daughter, considering the financial hardship it would cause.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the debt would result in undue hardship for the appellant given her reported financial situation and homelessness.
