The Board has granted a waiver of recovery of overpayment in pension benefits in the amount of $108, finding that the appellant's failure to notify VA of his change in medical expenses was his fault and not against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not result in unfair gain to the debtor and there is a possibility that recovery may nullify the objective for which pension benefits were intended.
