The Board denied the veteran's claim for waiver of recovery of loan guaranty indebtedness, finding that collection would not be against equity and good conscience due to the appellant's fault in creating the debt. The Board also found no evidence of undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The appellant was at fault in the creation of the loan guaranty debt and there is no current evidence showing he would be denied basic necessities of life by paying off the debt.
