The Board found that the overpayment of $3,758 was properly created due to a divorce. However, part of the overpayment of $22,144 was not properly created because it included compensation received while the veteran was on active duty and receiving retirement pay.
The deciding factor: The veteran's receipt of VA compensation during periods when he was also receiving full retirement pay led to an overpayment that should have been reduced or eliminated.
