The Board has granted a waiver of the recovery of $4,415 from the veteran's overpayment of VA improved pension benefits. However, they have denied the remaining amount due to undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The Board found that collection of the remaining debt would cause undue financial hardship as the veteran had substantial income and was not in receipt of pension benefits at the time of the decision.
