Partly granted
The Veteran's challenges to the creation of an overpayment were denied, but the amount of the debt was reduced from $11,898.49 to $1,944.84. The claim for a waiver of the recoupment of this debt was also denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was aware of the impact of her spouse's death on her benefits and did not notify the VA promptly.
