The appeal was partially granted, as the validity of the overpayment debt was denied but a waiver request for recovery of the overpayment was deemed timely.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's request for waiver of recovery of the $9,551.00 pension debt was accepted due to lack of proof that VA notified him on September 3, 2008, making it fundamentally unfair to deem a request for waiver untimely.
