If you are entitled to a full discharge of a student loan due to total permanent disability, and the lender will not accept it, can you sue for it?

I have filled all the documentation for a discharge from the student loan, from 2 different lenders both at the same time, one lender accepted the documentation right away the other, has done everything to fight it, such as claim the did not receive the papers, even when I sent them certified mail and have proof, and had my doctors fill out multiple forms several times, and have done everything the lender has asked yet the still refuse to accept anything I send them.

You may not have to go so far as actually suing them but I would absolutely hire an attorney to write a letter for you to the lender which will invoke their legal department to get on board.  The you have a better shot at getting the matter resolved.  Good luck.
