Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $12,944.65 due to retroactive removal of a dependent spouse.
The deciding factor: Recovery would be against equity and good conscience given the fault attributed to VA in not promptly removing the Veteran's ex-spouse from her award despite timely reports of divorce.
