The Board has granted the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved death pension benefits in the amount of $2,501. The decision concludes that it would be against equity and good conscience to recover this debt.
The deciding factor: The fault was minimal on the part of the appellant as she provided timely information after being notified of income changes, while the VA's fault was greater for failing to provide adequate and timely information concerning the duties of the appellant to report income changes.
