Denied
The Board denied the appeal, finding that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $625.20 was properly created due to the retroactive termination of payment of additional compensation for M., as a dependent spouse effective April 1, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was aware or should have been aware that he remained in receipt of additional compensation for his spouse after confirming her death, and the debt was created within one year of discovery of her death.
