The Board has determined that further development is needed to clarify the creation of the overpayment and to ensure compliance with procedural requirements. The veteran's claim for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved pension benefits was denied.
The deciding factor: Further clarification on how the overpayment was created and a review of the veteran's circumstances since 1999 are needed to determine if the denial is against equity and good conscience or due to fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith.
