Denied

The Veteran's request for a waiver of the overpayment debt was denied as it was not submitted within 180 days after receiving notice of the indebtedness.

The deciding factor: The appeal was denied due to the untimeliness of the Veteran's request for waiver, which was made more than 180 days after he received notification of the debt.
