The Board has determined that the Veteran's waiver request was timely filed, and the case is being referred to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises for a decision on the merits of the waiver request.
The deciding factor: The Veteran demonstrated extenuating circumstances (incarceration) that contributed to his lateness in filing his waiver request, which were beyond his control. The 180-day period was computed from the date of actual receipt of the notice of indebtedness.
