The veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved pension benefits in the amount of $21,276 was denied by the RO's Committee on Waivers and Compromises.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not be against equity and good conscience as it would not deprive the veteran of the ability to provide for life's basic necessities or defeat the purpose of the benefit.
