The Board found that the appellant's request for a waiver of recovery of a loan guaranty indebtedness plus accrued interest was not timely filed, and therefore denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: The VA Debt Management Center sent a certified letter to the appellant advising him of his right to request a waiver within one year. The Board found that although the appellant did not recall receiving this notice, it had been sent in the regular course of business and was received by the veteran's wife on July 22, 1992.
