Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation payments, considering factors such as financial hardship and the purpose of the benefit.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's financial hardship and the fact that recouping the debt would defeat the purpose of the benefits given to him while unmarried.
