Dismissed

The Board found that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $1,751.27 was due to sole administrative error by VA and not the Veteran's fault.

The deciding factor: The Veteran promptly notified the RO of his daughter's 18th birthday but the RO failed to adjust the Veteran's award for several years, resulting in an overpayment.

What this means for you

A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
