The Board granted a waiver of recovery for the overpayment of $335.80 in monthly housing allowance but denied it for the overpayment of $125 for books/supplies.
The deciding factor: Recovery would create financial hardship and not defeat the purpose of benefits for the monthly housing allowance, while recovery of the smaller debt would provide less financial hardship and cause unjust enrichment to the Veteran in the case of the books/supplies overpayment.
