Denied
The Veteran's request for a waiver of overpayment of nonservice-connected pension benefits was denied due to it being untimely filed.
The deciding factor: The request was untimely because the Veteran did not file within 180 days following the date of the Notice of Indebtedness issued in January 2007.
