Denied
The appeal was denied due to the proper creation of an overpayment of $3,083.61 for attorney fees.
The deciding factor: VA failed to withhold 20 percent of a lump sum past-due benefits payment awarded to the Veteran for his attorney's fees, which does not constitute sole administrative error leading to improper creation of an overpayment.
