The Board found that a partial waiver of the overpayment in the amount of $4,000 was warranted due to the Veteran's fault and VA's partial fault in not reducing benefits promptly upon receipt of notification of incarceration.
The deciding factor: The creation of the overpayment was partially attributable to the Veteran's failure to report his incarceration prior to July 21, 2010, but also partly due to VA's delay in taking action on this information.
