How do I request a waiver?

Answer

You'll need to submit these 2 items:

  • A Financial Status Report (VA Form 5655)
  • A personal statement that explains why you feel you shouldn't have to repay the debt. In your statement, share more information to support your waiver request. This should be information that you haven't provided in writing and isn't already in your VA records. You can also ask for an oral hearing.
