Granted
The Board has granted a waiver of recovery for the remaining overpayment, finding that collection would cause undue financial hardship and be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The decision found that repayment of the remaining debt would cause the Veteran undue financial hardship, as his household expenses exceeded income by $275.92 per month.
