The Board has determined that the portion of the overpayment arising from changes in the Appellant's unreimbursed medical expenses was improperly created and is therefore nullified. The claim for a waiver of the recoupment of this portion of her debt is granted. However, the portion of the overpayment arising from her failure to report income remains valid.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Appellant's actions did not cause or contribute to the creation of the overpayment and neither subjectively knew nor could have objectively known that she was receiving overpaid funds due to changes in her unreimbursed medical expenses. The portion arising from failure to report income is valid.
