Granted
The appeal was granted for the overpayment of $1,400.00 due to an erroneous payment by VA, and denied for the overpayment of $2,071.17 related to concurrent receipt of dependency allowance and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran neither had knowledge nor should have been aware of the erroneous award in the case of the $1,400.00 debt, while she was informed multiple times that additional compensation payments for a dependent during a time the dependent is receiving DEA benefits are prohibited.
