The Board denied the veteran's claim for a waiver of overpayments of nonservice-connected pension benefits due to willful misrepresentation regarding his wife's income, which resulted in an overpayment.
The deciding factor: The veteran misrepresented his wife's income by not reporting her significant Social Security benefits, resulting in an overpayment and precluding a waiver of recovery.
