The Veteran's spouse, B.R., is recognized as his dependent for the period from June 14, 2003 to June 30, 2006 due to VA's decision in December 2019 waiving an overpayment and finding that he was married to B.R. during this time.
The deciding factor: The Committee found that the Veteran was eligible for benefits for a dependent spouse from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2006 as he was paid for a dependent spouse and was in fact married to B.R.
