The Board denied the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of nonservice-connected death pension benefits because it was not filed within the required 180-day period following notification of indebtedness.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not submit a timely request for waiver of the overpayment, as her request was received more than one year after the initial notice of overpayment and right to request a waiver.
