The Board found that the overpayment of VA benefits for the period prior to April 8, 2005, and beginning June 13, 2005, was properly created. However, the overpayment between April 8, 2005, and June 13, 2005, is due solely to VA administrative error and therefore not valid.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran notified VA of his change in marital status on April 8, 2005, but VA did not make a change in the Veteran's marital status until June 13, 2005. For the period beginning June 13, 2005, the overpayment is valid as there was no indication of refusal to accept payment.
