Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA pension benefits, finding that recovery would create undue financial hardship for the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the debt would cause undue financial hardship as the Veteran lives on fixed income and has limited future earning potential due to his blindness and incompetence.
