Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VRAP education benefits in the cumulative amount of $5,548.27 due to equity and good conscience considerations.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's request for waiver was timely despite initial non-receipt of notices, and she faced financial hardship due to her mental health issues and other life events.
