Denied

The Board denied the challenges to the propriety of the creation of an overpayment in the amount of $49,810 and the waiver claim for recoupment of this debt.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the overpayment was caused by the Appellant's failure to notify VA of her SSA benefits, and denied the waiver claim as it did not meet the principles of equity and good conscience.
