Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA survivor's pension benefits, in the amount of $2,919.00, due to the Appellant not being at fault for creating the debt and facing undue financial hardship.
The deciding factor: Recovery would be against equity and good conscience given the Appellant's prompt reporting of her remarriage, VA's delayed termination of benefits, and the resulting financial hardship she faces.
