Granted
The Board has granted a waiver of overpayment for death pension benefits in the amount of $336.00, finding that collection would be against equity and good conscience due to VA's delay in processing the Appellant's notification of increased income.
The deciding factor: The primary factor considered was the fault of VA in delaying action on the Appellant's notification of increased income, which led to an overpayment of death pension benefits.
