The Board has determined that the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits was timely filed, and thus grants the appeal.
The deciding factor: VA error prevented the veteran from receiving notification of the indebtedness in a timely manner, which affected his ability to submit a request for waiver prior to August 1998. The Board found that the request for waiver was made within 180 days of notice of the indebtedness and his right to request waiver.
