The Board found that the appellant's request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment debt of VA educational benefits in the amount of $7,877.55 was timely filed and the appeal as to this issue is allowed. The validity of the overpayment of VA educational benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill in the amount of $7,877.55 is also found valid.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that due to an error by VA, the appellant did not receive a copy of the November 2012 notice of overpayment and her right to request a waiver within 180 days. As a result, the 180 day period was extended, making the appellant's March 2014 request for waiver timely.
