Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's appeal for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits, finding that there was no evidence of fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith on the part of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran made an honest mistake in not listing his spouse's SSA income due to memory problems following a stroke, and thus did not exhibit bad faith.
