Denied
The Veteran's requests for waiver of overpayment of VA education benefits were denied as they were not filed within the required 180-day period following notification.
The deciding factor: The appeals are denied because the requests for waivers were submitted more than 180 days after the initial notification of indebtedness, which is beyond the statutory time limit.
