The Board dismissed the issue of whether the termination of the veteran's improved pension benefits effective in February 1989 was proper. The Board denied the claim for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA improved pension benefits in the amount of $28,572.10.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to report his income accurately and promptly as required by VA regulations, which contributed to the creation of the overpayment. The Board found that the fault lay with the veteran for not complying with these requirements.
