The Board granted a partial waiver of recovery in the amount of $591.00 and denied a waiver of recovery in the amount of $2,173.00 for an overpayment of VA compensation benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not unjustly enriched during the period from July 2018 to December 2022 when he received additional benefits for a spouse who was actually his second wife, and recouping this overpayment would not defeat the purpose of the benefit or cause undue hardship.
