Granted
The Board has determined that the overpayment of VA death pension benefits in the amount of $8,705 is valid from May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014. The overpayment for the month of May 2014 was not valid as she received less than the MAPR.
The deciding factor: The appellant's income exceeded the applicable maximum annual pension rate (MAPR) during the relevant periods, leading to an overpayment and invalidation of the overpayment in May 2014.
