Denied

The Board has denied the veteran's claim for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of nonservice-connected pension benefits in the amount of $8,286.00 due to a failure to report income.

The deciding factor: The denial was based on the veteran's failure to report wages earned in 2000, which resulted in the termination of his nonservice-connected pension benefits and subsequent overpayment.
