The Board denied the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of overpayment of nonservice-connected pension benefits in the form of apportionment payments, finding that there was no evidence of financial hardship and denying the claim.
The deciding factor: The appellant refused to provide information on her financial status, leaving the Board with no option but to deny waiver as her assertion that there is undue hardship is not supported by any objective evidence.
