Denied
The overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $6,018.20 was validly created due to the Veteran's failure to promptly inform VA that her dependent daughter was receiving Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was informed about the prohibition of duplicate benefits and had signed forms agreeing to notify VA of any changes in status, but failed to do so when her daughter began receiving DEA benefits.
