The Board has determined that the overpayment of compensation benefits was improperly created due to sole VA error, and thus waived recovery of $5,592 is granted.
The deciding factor: The creation of the overpayment occurred due to a failure by VA to promptly process the veteran's notification regarding his receipt of military retired pay, resulting in an erroneous award based solely on administrative error.
