The Veteran is seeking a partial waiver of overpayment debt for the period from November 2007 to August 2008, and full waiver for the period from August 2008 to September 2014.,The Board found that recovery of the overpayment during the period of November 2007 to August 2008 would not be against equity and good conscience. However, recovery of the overpayment during the period of August 2008 to September 2014 would violate the principles of equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's delay in reporting his divorce from R. resulted in an overpayment that was not against equity and good conscience for the period of November 2007 to August 2008, but recovery during the period of August 2008 to September 2014 would defeat the purpose for which the benefits were intended.
