Denied
The Board found that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $6,126.80 was properly created due to a delay in notifying the RO about the divorce from J.D., and thus denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not promptly notify the RO of his divorce from J.D., resulting in an overpayment that needed to be repaid.
