Granted

The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $844.71, finding that recovery would be against equity and good conscience.

The deciding factor: The Board found that VA was at fault due to incorrect removal of the dependent child from the award, and that recoupment would defeat the purpose of the benefit.
