Granted

The Board has granted the Veteran's challenge to the creation of one portion of his overpayment, which was generated during his marriage to J.K.M., and denied challenges to the other portions of his overpayment.

The deciding factor: The RO created an impression that the Veteran would not be deemed overpaid during the period when he remarried, even if he omitted notifying the RO of his remarriage.
