The Veteran's application for a waiver of indebtedness for an overpayment in the amount of $31,939.50 was not received within 180 days following the date of a notice of indebtedness issued on or after April 1, 1983 by VA to the debtor. The Board denied the request as the application was untimely.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's application for waiver of indebtedness was not received within the required 180-day period following the issuance of a notice of indebtedness due to non-receipt of the First Demand Letter, which is presumed to have been properly mailed by VA.
