The veteran's overpayment of VA improved pension benefits in the amount of $9,065.00 was created due to her failure to report income from an annuity purchased by her children on her behalf. The Board found that this overpayment was not due to error solely on the part of the VA and denied any claim for waiver based on fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith.
The deciding factor: The veteran's failure to report the interest income from the annuity owned by her children did not constitute fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith as defined by VA regulations.
