Student Loan Repayment

I am a 33 year old adult that was diagnosed with ADD about 4 years ago. Before I was diagnosed, I tried earning a degree at the state university. I did not know at the time that I had ADD. I tried the best I could in school, but I was not succesful and had to repete many classes. I ended up aquiring $28,000 in student loans and I never earned a dgree. I have since been diagnosed with ADD and I take medication for it on a daily basis. I am a whole new person now. I can see that the reason I was not successful in school was because of the ADD. I makes me sick inside to know that I racked up $28,000 debt because of a disability that I did not know I had. My question is, is there any type of help like a grant that can help me repay the student loans. Do I have any options to wipeout or at least lessen the loan amount? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Matt: If you DO find anything --- or rather, can focus long enough, please let me know as I have several $$$ to be paid. Thanks!

I'm sixty years old and have student loans I don't know what to do about. At one time they were taking money from the Social Security check I receive from my deceased husband. Unemployed and in debt for an education I was never given the opportunity to use! If any one has an answer please let me know.

Permanent Disability doesn't do it either. The laws for Permanent Disability are different for Student Loans than they are for Social Security. With Social Security you are allowed to make $800 a month but if you make any money at all the Department of Education does not consider you to be disable. It's awful. They do have a hardship rule but the red tape and phone calls will worry you to death and some of the people are so rude. I wish I had a teaching position. I didn't think I would have any trouble and my loans would have been forgiven teaching Learning Disablity students. Unfortunately I ran in a principal who didn't like me and that was the end. It has all but killed me.
