Denied

The Board denied the appellant's requests for waivers of recovery of overpayments of death pension benefits in amounts of $638.00 and $2,515.00 due to the failure to timely file the requests.

The deciding factor: The appellant did not submit a timely request for waiver of recovery of the overpayment notices issued after March 31, 1983, which required submission within 180 days from the date of the notice.
