The Board found that the veteran's continued acceptance of VA benefits despite knowing he had unreported income created an overpayment. The decision grants a waiver of recovery of $12,000 from his improved pension benefits.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would not violate principles of equity and good conscience as it does not create undue hardship for the veteran.
