The Board has granted a partial waiver of overpayment for the period from March 2012 to March 2013, finding that the Veteran's delay in updating his dependency status outweighs the unjust enrichment resulting from the overpayment during this period. The full debt from February 2006 to February 2012 is denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the unnecessary delay in updating the Veteran's dependency status for more than a year after receiving a Status of Dependency Questionnaire in February 2012 outweighs the unjust enrichment resulting from the overpayment during this period, thus warranting a partial waiver.
