Denied
The overpayment debt of VA compensation benefits, in the amount of $10,529.67, due to the retroactive removal of a spouse was properly created.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not notify VA within 1 year of his 2018 marriage and continued to receive additional payments for his ex-spouse after their divorce in February 2018, which resulted in the overpayment debt.
