The overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $5,512.00 is validly created due to the Veteran's failure to notify VA of his divorce and subsequent remarriage within a year.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not inform VA about the change in his spousal status within a year of the events occurring, which resulted in an overpayment that cannot be reduced by virtue of his remarriage.
