The veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA pension benefits was found to be timely, and the appeal is granted.
The deciding factor: The veteran had not received proper notification of the 180-day time limit in which to request a waiver due to lack of information about the special requirements contained at 38 C.F.R. § 1.963(b)(2).
