Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational benefits in the amount of $6,860 due to financial hardship and against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Recovery would cause undue financial hardship as the Veteran is a single parent with an autistic son and struggles with homelessness.
