Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits, as the Veteran was at fault in failing to report the death of his prior spouse and subsequent remarriage.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not inform VA of the change in dependency status until after the overpayment had been created, which is beyond the one-year period required by law for such changes.
