The Veteran's request for a waiver of the recovery of an overpayment of VA pension benefits was denied as it was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file his request for a waiver within 180 days after receiving notification of the debt, and there were no circumstances beyond his control that delayed his receipt of the notice.
