I cannot work at my job. Am I eligible to have my loans discharged?

FAQs about disability discharge denials
The stipulation for loan discharge is not whether you can work at your job but, rather, if you can work and earn money in any capacity. Your doctor will make that determination based on the nature of your disability. If you are deemed able to earn income another way, you will not be eligible for a loan discharge. If a disability impacts your ability to repay your loans, you may be eligible for deferment or forbearance. It is not sufficient for your doctor to simply state the diagnosis.

NO. It is up to you to determine how much time you want to devote to this business. You can set your own schedule and income goals for the business. The choice is yours. The one thing we recommend is that you set a fixed schedule each week that you will devote to the business. In many cases a husband and wife, or friends work the business together, so it is run full time, but each person works part time.
