The Board has granted a waiver of the recovery of an overpayment of disability pension benefits, finding that repayment would create undue financial hardship for the veteran and his family.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was some fault on the part of both the VA in not timely adjusting payments and the veteran's actions contributed to the creation of the debt. However, it also determined that recovery would cause undue financial hardship due to existing expenses exceeding income.
