The Board found that the overpayment of VA improved pension benefits in the amount of $1,626.66 was not properly created due to administrative error and therefore granted the veteran's waiver request.
The deciding factor: The RO failed to terminate the veteran's VA improved pension benefits in a timely manner following his incarceration for a felony conviction, leading to an erroneous overpayment which is now deemed non-existent due to the effective date being the last payment date.
