Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $44,761.09.

The deciding factor: The debt was created due to the Veteran's fault and collection would not defeat the purpose of paying the benefits or deprive him of basic necessities.
