The Board has determined that the veteran's overpayment of $2,094.00 was properly created and is a valid indebtedness.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran had been receiving additional compensation for his spouse until July 1, 1993, when he divorced her. The RO reduced his benefits accordingly, resulting in an overpayment of $2,744.00 which was later amended to $2,094.00.
