Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a waiver of recovery of $9,162.00 in VA compensation benefits due to an adjustment for incarceration following a felony conviction.
The deciding factor: The reduction of compensation benefits was required by law and regulation, and recovery of the debt would not be against equity and good conscience given that there was no indication of fraud or misrepresentation, and the Veteran had unjust enrichment from receiving higher payments during his incarceration.
