You can qualify if you are totally or permanently disabled.
Are you totally and permanently disabled?
Yes I am.
To qualify you must complete and submit a TPD discharge application, along with various documentation.
What if I submit VA documentation?
We will notify you that your obligation has been discharged based on VA documentation.
Through the document, who does the term "we", "our", and "us" refer to?
The US Department of Education.
What other documents will I need?
You will need documents that show that you meet our requirements for being considered totally and permanently disabled.
Can I qualify for a TPD discharge by having a doctor certify that I am disabled on an application?
Is your disability expected to result in death?
Sadly, yes.
I am terribly sorry to hear that. You can have your doctor certify on the TPD discharge application that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to a physical or mental impairment.
Does a TPD discharge mean that I won't have to repay my loan back?
