The Board has granted a partial waiver of the Veteran's compensation overpayment indebtedness from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2010 and denied recovery of the remainder of the compensation overpayment indebtedness from July 1, 2000 to October 31, 2004.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran was at fault in creating the overpayment during the period from July 1, 2000 to October 31, 2004 and that partial repayment would not result in undue financial hardship or defeat the purpose for which the benefits were intended. However, recovery of the overpayment from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2010 was consistent with principles of equity and good conscience.
