The Board found the overpayment created during periods when the Veteran was not married to a dependent spouse, but the validity of the overpayment calculation is still under review. The decision on the waiver claim remains pending.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's failure to notify VA about his marriage status did not constitute an administrative error as he should have known that he was overpaid due to changes in his marital status.

What this means for you
A partial grant means some issues were granted while others were denied or remanded — common in multi-issue claims. Look at which issues went which way, and how each was argued.
