The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $2,042.22.
The deciding factor: The Board found that recovery of the debt was not against equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's fault in failing to timely report his receipt of drill pay and return to active duty, and because there would be no undue hardship or unjust enrichment resulting from repayment of the overpayment.
