Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pension benefits in the amount of $254,454.80 due to undue financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The collection of the debt would likely cause the Veteran to not be able to provide the basic needs for himself, as he is in hospice care and has no ability to make additional income.
