The Criteria Used In Granting A VA Disability Loan

By Nancy Gardner


For one to qualify for a veterans affairs disability discharge, it has to be certified beyond doubt that the person cannot work and get income following an illness or even an injury in which recovery is not something that is expected to happen anytime soon unless a miracle happens. This article therefore explains the process of applying for a VA disability loan for such individual.

The department responsible for granting this loan must have satisfied that the unemployment status of the borrower is as a result of the disability. He or should also be getting disability insurance from the social security department or any other form of benefits to serve as income. The review date from such should not exceed seven years from the current disability determination.

A medical practitioner should perform an examination on the individual and confirm that impairments sustained are permanent and also total. The definition of this is that the borrower cannot do any gainful activity to get income as a result of the medical impairments sustained. Death can come to these people anytime. The person should have lived with the disability for at least sixty months or they should be expected to last for such a period.

The application forms should be completed online. The intent is to make sure that no one submits more than one copy. Also, there is a vendor on the site who helps the applicant identify other federal loaners he or she may have borrowed from and notify them that he or she is applying for such kind of a loan. This means that loan repayments on such loans will be put on hold for at least one hundred and twenty days for the application to be reviewed.

Failure to submit this application within the indicated time means the other federal loans you had taken will no longer be on hold. In addition, you will be required to pay any interest accrued during the three months. However, this is not the case if you do submit the application forms. You should expect notification of a loan status within two months. The notifications are posted by mail.

Apart from loans granted after certification by veteran affairs department, the rest of the loans have to be monitored for three years . You may be asked for proof periodically that you are still permanently and total disabled.

It is crucial that the receiver of the discharge open and respond to the requests send periodically in regard to the loan. If not in a position, he or she can ask someone else to assist. Failure to do this means that the loan will be reinstated. The person will have to make the application again or else pay up the dues on other federal loans which were been put on hold.

Taking a new loan or receiving grants will lead to reinstatement of loans. A notification that you have applied for a disability loan needs to be send to any federal loaners you may have borrowed from. They should be accompanied by the application form to serve as prove. However, those who have sustained permanent and total disability are not required to do this because the situation cannot allow. The veteran affairs department will have to find a way to assist them.
