The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the cumulative amount of $19,063.86.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was at fault in the creation of the debt and his retention of the money would cause unjust enrichment to him. There is no basis upon which to conclude that repayment of this debt would result in undue hardship or deprive the Veteran of basic necessities.
