Student Loan Payments Forgiven For Disability

I did this and the forms were sent to my doctor directly from the school loan company. It took several months because every time the forms were returned to the company, they would want my doctor to provide even more information. Also every couple years I get a letter from them wanting to know how much earned income I have had in the previous couple years. I keep telling them that I retired in December, 2005 because of health/disability problems and the only income I have is $700.00 a month in retirement Social Security.

I have to laugh because the letter also tells me I can earn up to $14,000 plus a little more, in one year and still be eligible for the discharge. I have never earned that much in one year in all of my 73 years. I sometimes wonder if the people in that department have any brains.

You are right Redhatterb: I make 692.00 a month and they expect me to send them 720.00 a month...till I am 89 years old!! Yet, I can make 962.00 a month in income while I am being paid to not be able to work...yet they want a doctor to say you can't work which is why you are getting the money in the first place.

I am jumping through what I assume will be a long series of hoops but yes, you can find what you need here. I hope this helps.
