The Board has determined that the veteran's overpayment of VA pension benefits should be waived due to his financial hardship and lack of fault in creating the debt. The veteran was granted a waiver, but he is still responsible for repaying $644.00 plus accrued interest.
The deciding factor: The veteran demonstrated financial hardship and lacked fault in creating the overpayment, which outweighed any other factors considered by the Board.
