The Board found no fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith on the part of the appellant as to the overpayments of his pension benefits in the original total amount of $28,829. The case is remanded for further development and adjudication.
The deciding factor: The appellant's actions did not constitute fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith, thus waiver of recovery of the overpayments was not precluded by law.
