In order to collect SSI you have to be unable to work anyway, I wouldnt think you need to tell them about VA-SSI already has you as disabled.

You can take the student loan discharge application to your Doc and ask him to fill it out. If he does, it is likelys you will get it. The new law says if you are 100% P and T, you dont even need a MD statement to get your student loan discharged..all you need is confirmation from the VA that you are P and T. This has been discussed elsewhere in the forum.
