Denied

The Veteran's appeal for a waiver of overpayment in the amount of $57,022.00 was denied as there is no indication of undue hardship or financial need to waive recovery.

The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet his burden of showing undue hardship and the record showed unjust enrichment.
