Granted
The Board has granted a waiver of recovery for an overpayment of VA compensation benefits due to the Veteran's spouse, finding no fault on her part and noting that repayment would cause undue hardship.
The deciding factor: Recovery was waived as it would be against equity and good conscience given the delay in action by VA and the potential financial hardship resulting from repayment.
