Granted
The Board granted a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA death pension benefits in the amount of $17,343.00 due to financial hardship and equity considerations.
The deciding factor: Recovery would be against equity and good conscience given the Appellant's lack of assets and insufficient income from SSA benefits to repay the debt without jeopardizing her ability to pay for basic needs.
