The Board has determined that the Veteran's application for waiver of overpayment was timely filed and denied. The case is now remanded to reconsider the validity of the debt, including the proper amount of overpayment, and to determine if a waiver request is warranted under the principles of equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's application for waiver of overpayment was timely filed but denied due to an error in calculating the valid and properly created amount of overpayment based on the date of incarceration rather than the date of sentencing. The case is now remanded for further review under the principles of equity and good conscience.
