The Board denied the veteran's request to waive overpayment of $2,400 in 1994 due to his failure to report income from a life insurance company. The Board found that he acted in bad faith and did not provide timely notice for the waiver.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to report income resulting in an overpayment of pension benefits, which was deemed intentional and resulted in bad faith conduct.
