The Board found that the overpayment of improved death pension benefits was properly created due to the appellant's failure to report her increased net worth, leading to termination of her pension and creation of an overpayment. The RO's Committee on Waivers denied a waiver request for recovery of this overpayment.
The deciding factor: The overpayment was created because the appellant failed to report her increased net worth accurately, resulting in improper payment of pension benefits.
