How Borrowers with Disabilities Can Achieve Financial Relief
Three primary ways you can achieve relief from student loans include:
-
Receiving a disability discharge. If your doctor writes a notice explaining that you are completely disabled
for the rest of your life, you will be eligible for this form of relief.
In addition to this requirement, you must not be earning income when you
apply for discharge or for the following three years. Once your application
has been accepted and you have successfully passed a monitoring period
of three years, then every one of your federal student loans will be erased.
-
Receiving traditional student loan relief. Many people do not realize they have
several options for relief from student loan debt. If you qualify for these programs, you can obtain
financial aid without the federal monitoring process, and you can begin
working whenever you want.
-
Applying for a combination of both disability discharge and traditional
loan relief. In most cases, students with disabilities are eligible for both types
of support. We strongly recommend applying for both kinds of student loan
coverage. This is because disability charges can sometimes take more than
six months to be completed, whereas the "regular" process often
provides immediate financial relief. Our lawyers are highly experienced
at helping our clients with disabilities smoothly transition from a traditional
loan repayment plan to a disability discharge.
