Granted
The overpayment of helpless child DIC benefits in the amount of $32,230.64 was due to sole administrative error on the part of VA and is not a valid debt.
The deciding factor: VA erroneously paid the appellant helpless child DIC benefits from April 2012 to November 2020 without notifying him of the error until September 2021, making the overpayment invalid due to administrative error.
