Has anyone used financial aid after a total loan discharge for 100 percent p&t? The regulations as I read them appear possible. Will filling out a FAFSA 4 years after the fact trigger anything nefarious?

We applied and then the Dole VA somehow "misplaced" the application and when we called to see what could be done a GIGANTIC push to blame the mishap on all kinds of things other than the program on site. We just let it go as the nightmare that can come of it is not worth the money. They can...

Thanks James, I did not do my due diligence and educate myself on the process. I certainly would use that as a cautionary tale for anyone else with SSDI. I am playing catch up now which is never a good place to be.

Babs, Sent you a PM on how this turned out for you. I had to do the long and short form, and now it appears as if I have to have a complete workup done because of "Lack of medical evidence". I thought they had all the evidence they needed when I was awarded the SSDI.
