Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional development, including a formal finding regarding the validity of the overpayment and consideration of whether to refer the issue related to a waiver of recovery of debt to the COWC.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has disputed the validity of the debt due to VA's administrative error, and requested a waiver based on undue financial hardship. The Board finds that a pre-decisional duty to assist error has taken place, necessitating a remand for additional development.
