Whole decision: Granted

The Veteran's waiver requests for overpayment of dependency benefits are granted for the period from January 1, 2009 to February 25, 2011. The VA is to refund any amounts collected or garnished during this period.

The deciding factor: VA acknowledges that the Veteran notified them of his remarriage and additional dependents earlier than initially reported, which justifies a waiver for the overpayment from January 1, 2009 to February 25, 2011.

What this means for you

A grant means the Board allowed the benefit or issue identified in this decision. Review the original order: other issues in the same appeal may have a different outcome, and this decision does not predict another claim.

What you can do next

Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
