The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of an overpayment debt due to receipt of concurrent VA compensation benefits and drill pay in FYs 2021 and 2022, finding that recovery would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith on the part of the Veteran. The Veteran was at fault for failing to respond to VA's request for her to elect to waive her training pay or VA compensation benefits for FYs 2021 or 2022, resulting in unjust enrichment and undue financial hardship not being present.
