The Board granted a partial waiver of the overpayment debt, but denied recovery of the remainder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's fault for creating the debt was mitigated by his prompt notification to VA, while VA bore some responsibility for the growth of the debt due to delays in implementing the proposed reduction. Recovery would not result in undue hardship or defeat the purpose of benefits.
