The Board denied the waiver of overpayment for $4,622 due to concurrent receipt of active service drill pay and found that recovery would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Veteran received VA benefits concurrently with military drill pay, which created an overpayment. The Board determined that recovery was not against equity and good conscience based on the factors outlined in 38 C.F.R. § 1.965(a).
