The Board has granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved disability pension benefits in the calculated amount of $3,549. The issue of service connection for a back disability will be addressed separately.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately in equipoise and in resolving all doubts in favor of the veteran, it would be against equity and good conscience to recover the overpayment of improved disability pension benefits in the calculated amount of $3,549.
