The Board has determined that the Veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment was timely filed. The appeal is granted to that extent, and the issue will be remanded for further adjudication on the merits.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board erred in determining that the Veteran failed to submit a timely request for a waiver because the RO did not mail the notification of indebtedness to his prison address of record. The decision is based on this finding.
