Denied
The overpayment of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation benefits in the amount of $16,628.72 is valid as the Veteran failed to promptly update VA about his divorce and remarriage.
The deciding factor: The Board found that neither VA nor the Veteran was solely responsible for the error, and the Veteran's failure to act contributed to the creation of the overpayment.
