Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA death pension benefits in the amount of $686.00, finding that recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found that recovery of the debt would impair the ability to provide for necessities of food, clothing and shelter, and would defeat the purpose of the benefit being paid.
