The Board found that recovery of the veteran's overpayment of nonservice-connected disability pension benefits was not warranted due to lack of fault on the part of the VA, and that repayment would not cause undue hardship. The decision denied the request for waiver.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not defeat the purpose of the extended VA benefit (nonservice-connected disability pension) and allowing the veteran to retain his benefits was considered equitable given his financial situation.
