Denied
The Veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment of VA compensation benefits was denied because it was not filed within the 180-day period allowed by law.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file her request for a waiver due to a delay beyond the 180-day period, which is outside the scope of circumstances that would extend the deadline.
