Borrower Becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled
To qualify for this discharge (except for certain veterans as explained below), a physician must certify the form stating that you are unable to work and earn money because of a condition that is expected to continue indefinitely or result in death.
This means that you must be unable to work in any capacity in any field of work.
If you are able to work and earn money in any capacity in any field of work at the time your physician signs this form, even if only on a limited basis, you are not eligible for this discharge.
This disability standard may differ from disability standards used by other federal agencies (for example, the Social Security Administration) or state agencies. Except as noted below for certain veterans, a disability determination by another federal or state agency does not establish your eligibility for this discharge.
If you are a veteran, you will be considered totally and permanently disabled for purposes of this discharge if you provide documentation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs showing that you have been determined to be unemployable due to a service-connected condition.
