Granted
The Veteran's overpayment of $15,177.04 was waived because the VA failed to promptly address his divorce and removal from dependents' benefits for eight years, causing an excessive overpayment.
The deciding factor: VA inaction caused a significant overpayment due to delayed response to the Veteran's notifications of divorce.
