If someone had a student loan and they have been declared disabled, is the loan forgiven?


This Question From Nursing Student Loan | 3 Answers


I got a student loan in the late 1990′s to attend nursing school. I was later injured so badly at a major hospital that I was declared by the federal government to be disabled. I am now on SSI, full disability. Is my student loan forgiven? If so, how do I go about that?

    Absolutely not. All you need to do is to show them the proof that you are disabled person and make no income. Good luck.

    Contact your lender and tell them you are disabled. You will have to submit paperwork and sign releases and have your doctor sign off on it. They will do their own investigation and let you know their decision. For my hubby, his loan was “conditionally” discharged for a few years first. Then his situation was re-assessed before it was completely discharged.

    Also, if you have let your loan go into default, that will still be on your credit report. Even if you get it discharged, it will still be on your credit report, because you were still delinquent in the payments of it and let it get into default.
