The Board has granted the veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved pension benefits in the amount of $5,253.00.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the appellant's failure to timely and accurately report his income information, which resulted in the creation of an overpayment. The Board found that collection of the debt would not be against equity and good conscience as it would cause undue financial hardship to the appellant and defeat the purpose of the pension benefits program.
