Granted
The debt of $8,344.60 resulting from the change in effective dates for payment of additional Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation for the Veteran's children is invalid and the appeal is granted.
The deciding factor: The debt was created due to sole administrative error and processing delay by VA, which is prohibited under 38 U.S.C. § 5302B(a).
