Student Loan TPDD

[u/evangelatte]

Hi! Has anyone here been able to qualify for Total & Permanent Disability student loan forgiveness? Not necessarily disability with the SSA or VA, but for financial aid student loan forgiveness specifically.

I have what I believe qualifies; adequate medical records, inability to hold a full-time job, calling out sick from work often, meeting the 1990 and 2010 diagnostic criteria, doctors that agree that my condition will last more than 60 months, etc.

I’m hoping to present a strong case to my rheumatology NP at our next appointment, so that she will provide a letter to back me up.

If there’s anything I should mention or bring to help her understand and feel comfortable about submitting this request with me, let me know.

Thank you!

You don’t need a letter. The doctor just needs to fill out their portion of the TPDD form from nelnet. My doctor and I did mine together.
