The Board found that the veteran's default on a VA guaranteed loan resulted in foreclosure and loss of property security. After considering the fault of the debtor, balancing of faults between the debtor and VA, undue hardship for the appellant, and other factors, the decision was made to waive recovery of the indebtedness.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the veteran's default on the loan was due to his inability to find employment in a new location, resulting in financial hardship. The decision balanced these circumstances against the need for repayment.
