Contact a Federal Student
Aid Ombudsman through the US Dept of Education. Their job is to give you
information and help with student loan problems.
You may have to find
another doctor to sign the forms.

Subject: [QUAD-L] STUDENT LOANS
Does anyone know anything
about getting defaulted student loans reduced? I cannot afford the
payments because I took out the loan prior to my disability. My income
from SSDI is not enough to make the loan payment. I was one of fourteen
students accepted into a new Honors programs at Indiana University this year,
and now I can't even go to college. Voc rehab cannot help until I
resolve this loan matter. I sent a form (the form
that verifies I am disabled so that my loan can be reduced) from the
financial aid office, to my doctor three times to verify that I am disabled,
and they will not sign it. I am a quad resulting from a T1 spinal cord
injury. How is that not a disability? I should be responsible for
my debt, but I cannot afford it at this time. I desperately want to go
to school. Does anyone know what I could do?
