Tips For Securing Disabled Veterans Loans

By April Briggs


Credit terms given to veterans make their loans cheaper and easy to secure. The disabled veterans loans benefits and exemptions have the potential of increasing the amount you are entitled to or reducing the amount you pay back. The benefits go further where your disability level enables you to secure more cash or reduce the fees paid.

A veteran is exempted from paying funding fees if the loan is yet to be closed yet he is receiving disability benefits. This makes it easier to secure the much needed loan. In case the loan has already been closed by the time you are receiving the benefits, you are eligible for refund. The applications for refunds and exemptions are made at the regional VA Loan Center. It makes a huge difference in your financial life to receive the exemption.

The claims for refund can be made at any time as long as you are receiving benefits. The claims are processed on your behalf as long as you provide necessary documents. With a home loan of two hundred thousand dollars, you are eligible to 2.15 percent which translates to about four thousand and three hundred dollars. This is an amount that can transform your life significantly.

The other option available to veterans is Specially Adapted Housing grants/SAH. These are funds used to make modifications to a house so that the veteran finds it easier to live. You may use the grants to construct a house that comes with modifications. The money may also be used to remodel the house where the veteran will be living to suit his current condition. The money may also be used to offset the principle on a loan that you are already paying towards the modified house.

Special Housing Adaptation is another category of grants available to provide relief to veterans applying for mortgage. They help in adapting a house that already belongs to the veteran with disability. The grant may also be used to adapt a house that the veteran intends to occupy. A veteran may also use the grant to buy a house that is already adapted.

SAH or Special Adaptation Housing grants come with an annual limit of 64,960 dollars. Special Housing Adaptation has a limit of 12,992 dollars. It is a requirement that for one to receive any of these grants, he must be benefiting from disability allowances. Considering that the exemptions are provided annually, the amount is significant.

There are credit and tax exemptions that are available to veterans ones the house is in their possession or becomes their residence. Each state has a different set of exemptions and criteria for determining who enjoys the benefits and who does not. It is a requirement that the beneficially should be a hundred percent disabled in some states while in others, all veterans qualify.

Possession of Mortgage Credit Certificate makes you entitled to refunds on the interest you pay on your mortgage. Each state uses a different percentage or calculation formula. A veteran enjoying disability benefits can use them as income when applying for a loan. This is because the benefits are reliable, continuous and stable.
