Granted
The Veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment was deemed timely filed due to circumstances beyond his control, resulting in non-receipt of the notices.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided evidence showing he was homeless at the time of the notices and thus had circumstances outside of his control that prevented receipt of the notices.
