The Board denied the Veteran's appeal regarding overpayment of VA disability compensation benefits, finding that the creation of an overpayment debt from May 2011 to February 2016 was due to sole administrative error and granting the waiver of recovery for the period October 2009 to April 2011. The decision did not address service connection or exposure basis.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the creation of an overpayment debt from May 2011 to February 2016 was due to sole administrative error and granted the waiver of recovery for the period October 2009 to April 2011, finding fault on the Veteran's part for not timely reporting her dependency changes.
