Denied
The overpayment of VA compensation benefits for a dependent spouse in the amount of $2,263.56 was properly created and the appeal is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran should have been aware of the erroneous award due to his continued receipt of payments after the divorce occurred in September 2014.
