The Board has granted the Veteran's challenge to the creation of an overpayment in the amount of $8,250 arising from apportionment of VA pension benefits. The claim for a waiver of this debt is dismissed as moot due to the grant of the overpayment challenge.
The deciding factor: The overpayment was created as a result of a sole administrative error on the part of VA, and thus the creation of the overpayment is deemed an administrative error.
