Granted
The Board granted the Appellant's waiver of the recoupment of an overpayment debt in the amount of $93,496 due to financial hardship and the Veteran's reliance on VA benefits.
The deciding factor: The balance of equities strongly counseled in favor of the Appellant's claim for a waiver of the recoupment of the Veteran's $93,496 debt passed to his estate, considering the financial hardship and the Veteran's need-based VA pension as their lifeline.
