[blindlaw] SSI payments

[James Weisberg]

Mark:

I specifically remember the code stating "if the debtor is disabled when
they sign their promissory note, AND subsequently their disability becomes
substantially worse . . . ," the debtor may avail themselves of the
provisions of the code on cancellation I described earlier.  This was the
facts in the case I handled.  Further, under this standard, if a second
disability like hearing loss set in after the note was signed you're golden.
That combined with your vision issues certainly would meet the standard.
Time to shop for a doc Mark!  That code provision is there for such
situations.

Good luck Mark I sincerely hope that you're able to write the loans off.
Hopefully, you'll be able to use the same method that J. William
Weisberg described above to get rid of his.  In any event try not to let it
stress you out to much because even in the worse case scenario there's not
debtors prison or anything like that.
