I would like to request a disability discharge for my student loans. I pay over $800 a month on a $1500 a month income. It has been possible for me to take online courses successfully at my own pace due to accommodation. Yet, I tried working twice and lost my job both times due to my medical and psychological conditions.

No matter how bad my health, I still dream of going to graduate school, even if I have to do so online. I worry that if I request a student loan discharge due to disability, that Navient will contact my professors which could worry them out of writing me letters of recommendation.

Does anyone know if Navient contacts professors?
