Tips To Secure Disabled Veterans Loans Faster

By April Briggs


Veterans have easier terms of credit that make their loans more affordable. Taking advantage of disabled veterans loans exemptions and benefits will reduce your repayment amount or increase the loan you get. In some cases, your level of disability will enable you access more cash or reduce the fees you pay on your loan.

Funding fees are exempted if you are receiving disability benefits and have not closed your veteran loan. With the waiver of funding fees, it becomes easier to access credit. There is a provision for refund if the loan is already closed and you are receiving benefits. It is the regional VA Loan Center that processes the refunds. The waiver or refund makes a significant difference during repayment.

The claims for refund can be made at any time as long as you are receiving benefits. The claims are processed on your behalf as long as you provide necessary documents. With a home loan of two hundred thousand dollars, you are eligible to 2.15 percent which translates to about four thousand and three hundred dollars. This is an amount that can transform your life significantly.

The other option available to veterans is Specially Adapted Housing grants/SAH. These are funds used to make modifications to a house so that the veteran finds it easier to live. You may use the grants to construct a house that comes with modifications. The money may also be used to remodel the house where the veteran will be living to suit his current condition. The money may also be used to offset the principle on a loan that you are already paying towards the modified house.

Special Housing Adaptation is a grant targeting adaptations to a house owned or to be owned by the veteran. It is used to modify the premises so that the veteran finds it easier to live there. It may be used to construct the house for the disabled veteran. The other option is to buy a house that has already been modified.

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.

A veteran with disability stands to enjoy other credit and tax exemptions that have a significant effect on the principle amount and the fees paid on the loan. The exemption depends on individual states. For instance some counties require total disability for one to qualify while others provide exemptions to any veteran. Only a house modified or purchased under SAH or SHA grant qualifies for exemption.

With a Mortgage Credit Certificate you can claim credit refund for the amount paid as interest on your mortgage. The amount or formula used in calculating varies from one state to the other. A veteran receiving benefits can use them as income to boost their chances of securing a loan. The benefits qualify because they are stable, reliable and expected to continue.
