The Board found that the overpayment of Section 306 death pension benefits was not properly created due to insufficient evidence showing excessive net worth or income, and thus denied the appellant's claim.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the appellant did not have sufficient assets to justify termination of her pension award based on excessive net worth, and her reported income for 1989 did not exceed the statutory limit for continued entitlement to Section 306 death pension.
