Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $14,499.07 due to equity and good conscience considerations.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's fault was partially offset by VA's failure to act on communications related to his divorce and separation from his wife, leading to unjust enrichment and financial hardship for the Veteran.
