Granted
The debt based on the overpayment of VA pension benefits in the amount of $40,633 is not valid and the appeal as to that issue is granted.
The deciding factor: Without any of the applicable documents to adjudicate the Veteran's appeal, and affording the Veteran all reasonable doubt, the Board finds that the debt of $40,633 is not valid.
