Tips To Secure Disabled Veterans Loans Faster

By April Briggs


The special considerations given to a veteran with disability make it easier to secure credit facility. Besides that, disabled veterans loans come with lenient terms that will increase the amount you get or reduce the amount you are required to repay. These benefits are also based on the type of disability you possess.

A person receiving disability benefits and has not closed his veteran loan is exempted from paying funding fees. The waiver means that your loan is easier to access. Any veteran who has already closed the loan and is now receiving benefits is eligible for refund. The refund is processed by the VA regional Loan Center. The amount is significant and will lift a heavy burden off your shoulders.

As long as the veteran benefits continue to flow, you are allowed to make claim for refund. You will be required to provide necessary documents to have the claims processed on your behalf. Taking a mortgage facility of 200,000 dollars as a veteran means that you are entitled to 2.15 percent. The amount translates to 4,300 dollars which makes a huge difference when spent elsewhere instead of being consumed when repaying a loan.

Specially adapted housing grants are the other option worth exploring. They are aimed at making modifications to ensure that the house is easier to use based on the disability of the veteran. Some of the things you can do with the grant include constructing a house with the necessary modifications, remodeling the house to fit your current condition and applying for the grant against a balance of an existing loan for a modified house.

Special Housing Adaptation is another category of grants available to provide relief to veterans applying for mortgage. They help in adapting a house that already belongs to the veteran with disability. The grant may also be used to adapt a house that the veteran intends to occupy. A veteran may also use the grant to buy a house that is already adapted.

The maximum limit given for Special Adaptation Housing is sixty four thousand, nine hundred and sixty dollars. The maximum amount for Special Housing Adaptation is twelve thousand, nine hundred and two. To qualify, a veteran must first seek the approval of disability allowances. These amounts are significant since the exemptions are made on yearly basis.

Home ownership also comes with tax exemptions and credit. As a veteran with disability, you will be exempted from certain taxes once you purchase the house using the SAH or SHA grants. Each state has a unique formula or percentage for calculate the exemptions and credit. While some states offer all veterans a hundred percent exemptions, others demand that such a veteran must be a hundred percent disabled.

The Mortgage Credit Certificate helps you in claiming credit for part of the interest paid on the mortgage each year. Each state has different criteria for issuing the certificate. The fact that you are receiving disability payments boosts your chances of securing VA loan because the benefits count as income. The benefits meet the minimum requirements for a VA loan which are reliability, continuous and stable.
