The Board determined that the overpayment of $11,103.00 was due to VA administrative error and improperly created. The issue of whether the veteran's request for waiver of recovery was timely filed is moot as the overpayment was found to be improper.
The deciding factor: The overpayment was solely due to VA administrative error in failing to adjust the veteran's compensation award after he reported his divorce from his ex-wife and her children.
