The Board granted the appeal, finding that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits was not properly created due to administrative error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran neither had knowledge of nor should have been aware of the erroneous award of benefits for his spouse and the fact that she was apparently not removed at that time was not due to the Veteran's actions or failure to act, constituting sole VA administrative error.
