The Board denied the appellant's claim that she timely filed a request for waiver of an overpayment of VA Chapter 35 educational assistance in the amount of $1,175.47, finding no evidence of a timely submission within the 180-day time limit set by regulation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence demonstrating a timely request for waiver of the overpayment created in 1992, despite the appellant's claims and representations to the contrary.
