The Board denied the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved pension benefits in the amount of $4,607 due to fault on the part of the veteran. The decision states that the veteran did not report all his income and was solely at fault in creating the overpayment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's failure to report earned income contributed to the creation of the overpayment and thus, he is solely at fault.
