Granted
The Board granted a waiver of the overpayment debt due to undue financial hardship and that recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would cause an undue financial hardship to the Veteran, as his expenses for basic necessities exceed his income, and it would defeat the purpose of the benefits intended for him.
