The appeal was denied because the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file his request within the 180-day period following notification of the indebtedness, and there was no evidence of delay in receipt or other circumstances beyond his control that would justify extending the deadline.
