The Board granted the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Improved Pension in the amount of $1,746 due to fault on his part and undue hardship resulting from repayment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the finding that the veteran had not reported changes in unreimbursed medical expenses, creating a fault. The Board concluded that recovery would result in undue hardship for him by depriving him of basic necessities.
