The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits, finding that he was at fault due to his return to active duty and concurrent receipt of military pay and VA compensation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was found at fault for not informing VA of his return to active duty and receiving both VA compensation and military pay concurrently, which is prohibited. The Board determined that recovery would not result in undue hardship or defeat the purpose of the benefits.
