The Board has determined that the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved disability pension benefits is granted, as it would not be against equity and good conscience to recover the overpayment.
The deciding factor: The decision concludes that recovery of the overpayment would result in undue financial hardship for the veteran and his wife, defeating the purpose of the improved disability pension benefits, and resolving all doubts in favor of the veteran.
