Title: Total and Permanent Disability Discharge of Loans Under Title IV of the Higher Education Act 
Abstract:

The Department will issue these final regulations to amend and correct the regulations for total and permanent disability student loan discharge for veterans by removing administrative burdens that may have prevented at least 20,000 totally and permanently disabled veterans from obtaining discharges of their student loans, as the law provides. These barriers create significant and unnecessary hardship for these veterans.
