Granted
The Board found that the overpayment of $7,950.78 was not validly created due to VA's failure to timely change the Veteran’s dependent status after he filed for divorce. The appeal is granted.
The deciding factor: VA failed to promulgate a change in the Veteran’s dependent status in a timely fashion, which led to an overpayment of $7,950.78.
