The Board denied the appellant's claims for waiver of recovery of overpayment of death pension benefits in two separate instances, one for $4,208.00 from April 1, 1998 to March 31, 1999 and another for $4,545.00 from April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2000, due to the claims not being timely filed.
The deciding factor: The appellant's requests for waiver of overpayment were not received by VA within the required 180-day period following notification of the overpayment.
