The Board denied a waiver of the recovery of an overpayment of VA improved pension benefits in the amount of $9,337 due to fault on the part of the veteran.
The deciding factor: The veteran was at fault for not notifying VA of his marital change and complete family income, which resulted in him receiving benefits he was not entitled to receive or in excess of what he was entitled to receive.
