The Board determined that the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of pension benefits was timely, as it was received within 180 days following notification of indebtedness.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no proper notification of the overpayment debt and its right to request a waiver by the RO, thus extending the 180-day time limit for requesting a waiver.
