The Board has granted the veteran's waiver of overpayment in the amount of $26,743.24 for nonservice-connected disability pension benefits due to the VA's failure to inform him of his incarceration and resulting overpayment.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment would defeat the purpose for paying the benefits (providing an income supplement) given the veteran's current financial situation and permanent total disability status.
