The Board has determined that the overpayment of $2,539 was improperly created due to an error by VA in calculating and processing the pension benefits. As a result, the veteran's appeal is granted.
The deciding factor: The overpayment at issue resulted solely from a mistake by the RO in calculating and subsequently processing the overpayment of the veteran's pension benefits when it removed the veteran's son as a dependent.
