Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that

Borrower's Total and Permanent Disability, currently approved under OMB
Control Number 1845-0124. The form is HEAL 539. A borrower and the

of the borrower's HEAL loans. The form provides a uniform format for
borrowers and lenders to use when submitting a disability claim.
