The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of an overpayment debt in the amount of $13,121.28.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not be against equity and good conscience due to the Veteran's fault in creating the debt, unjust enrichment from non-repayment, lack of undue financial hardship from repayment, and that repayment would not defeat the purpose for which the benefits were intended.
