Remanded (sent back)
The Board granted challenges to the validity of the amount of the overpayment debt, reducing it from $4,757.14 to $3,746, and remanded the claim for a waiver of the overpayment debt.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's actions or failure to act neither caused nor contributed to the receipt of the benefit in error, and he was aware that his receipt of an upward spousal adjustment could only be based on the particular spouse who had been added to his VA account by the AOJ.
