The veteran's brother, the appellant, is ordered to repay $2,691 of overpaid pension benefits. The rest of the overpayment at issue will not be recovered from him.
The deciding factor: The amount of $2,691 was actually overpaid to the appellant/custodian as the veteran's payee for VA pension benefits and is considered fair to recover in order to avoid undue hardship on the appellant.
