The Board has determined that the overpayment of $2747.10 was properly created due to the veteran's failure to promptly notify VA of his divorce and remarriage, resulting in an improper creation of the debt.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to promptly notify VA of his divorce from L.J. and subsequent marriage to L.L., leading to the overpayment of benefits for his first spouse.
