Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of the remainder of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits, in the amount of $3,044.65, as it found that the Veteran was not at fault for the creation of the debt and that recovery would not create undue hardship or defeat the purpose of the benefits.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's failure to update VA about the status of her stepchildren did not contribute to the creation of the debt, as she had already submitted a request for their removal in April 2022. The delay in removing J. and the stepchildren was attributed to VA's fault.
