Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a waiver of the recoupment of an overpayment debt, finding that the principles of equity and good conscience were not violated.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran was at fault in creating the overpayment and that recouping the debt would not result in financial hardship or nullify the goals of his VA benefits.
