The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) has determined that the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of improved death pension benefits was timely filed, and thus grants this portion of her appeal.
The deciding factor: The financial status report submitted by the appellant in October 1999 is construed as a timely request for waiver of recovery of the overpayment within 180 days after notification of the overpayment.
