101  Waiver in special circumstances
  The Secretary may waive the right to recover all or part of a debt if the Secretary is satisfied that:
 (a) the debt did not result wholly or partly from the debtor or another person knowingly:
 (i) making a false statement or a false representation; or
 (ii) failing or omitting to comply with a provision of the family assistance law; and
 (b) there are special circumstances (other than financial hardship alone) that make it desirable to waive; and
 (c) it is more appropriate to waive than to write off the debt or part of the debt.
