The Board has determined that the overpayment of non-service-connected pension benefits in the amount of $17,809.00 was created due to changes in the veteran's family income and is against equity and good conscience, warranting a waiver.
The deciding factor: The creation of the overpayment was not due to fraud or bad faith on the part of the veteran, but rather due to his failure to promptly notify VA of changes in his family's income which led to an overpayment.
