Student Loan Concession

Hello Guys

I was wondering if anyone knew whether there are any concessions with the student loans depending on your individual circumstances. Apart from the fact, it gets written off if you pass away or hit the retired age. Thanks.

    Well you only pay if you are earning above a certain amount.  What other special circumstances might come in to it?

    What kind of concession are you after? Do you want it written off, exemption from payments? On what basis do you think you should hot have to pay as per the agreement?

    After the applicable time period depending on your plan, upon death, or in the case of a disability or terminal illness which would permemantly remove one's ability to work.
