The Board has determined that the recovery of a $417.00 overpayment is waived due to the appellant's failure to report her income, which led to the creation of the overpayment. The Board found no fault on the part of the VA and concluded that repayment would cause undue financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The appellant failed to report her monthly income, leading to an overpayment in death pension benefits. Repayment would result in undue financial hardship.
