Denied

The Board found that the appellant's loan guaranty indebtedness in the amount of $6,274.82 was properly created and thus denied his claim.

The deciding factor: VA released the original veteran from liability due to default on the loan, making the non-veteran assumer liable for the debt.

What this means for you

A denial is a starting point, not the end of the road. You can see why this claim fell short — and, if you are still inside the one-year window, the appeal lanes that may remain open to you.
