Denied
The appeal was denied because the appellant's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The 180-day period to file a request for waiver had expired, and there was no clear evidence that the notice of indebtedness was delayed beyond the time customarily required for mailing.
