The Board found that the Appellant's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits was timely filed.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the 180-day period for filing a waiver request had been extended due to confusion about how the overpayment was generated, and because the Appellant was not notified of her separate debt until April 2021.
