Granted
The Board found that the termination of DIC benefits due to remarriage was proper and granted a waiver for an overpayment of $15,530.25.
The deciding factor: The appellant's failure to notify VA of her marital status led to the creation of the overpayment, but the Board determined that recovery would cause undue financial hardship.
