The Board determined that the appellant's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA death pension benefits was timely filed, and thus granted the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board found there was a delay in notification due to a typographical error by VA, which presumed the appellant did not receive the initial notice. The Board then considered this as a valid reason for extending the 180-day time limit for filing a waiver request.
