The Board has reopened the veteran's claim for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved pension benefits in the amount of $32,725.53 due to new and material evidence submitted. The decision also grants the veteran's request to waive recovery of a separate overpayment of $100, finding that it would cause undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran presented new and material evidence regarding his claim for waiver of an overpayment of improved pension benefits in the amount of $32,725.53, which was previously denied due to a final determination based on a previous denial of recovery of an overpayment of $32,725.53. The Board also determined that it would be against equity and good conscience for the veteran to have to repay the $100 overpayment.
