The Board found that the overpayment of $10,792.67 was properly created due to the veteran's failure to report his change in marital status from being married to D.G. to marrying J.G.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to report his change in dependents' status when he became divorced and remarried, leading to an overpayment of VA compensation benefits.
