Student Loan Repayment Plans and Qualifying for a USDA home loan

I'm going to try to get a USDA home loan in the next few months and need  information about the repayment plan of my student loan.  It is the graduated plan and will increase in the next few years.  Will they have to consider the largest payment that I will eventually have for the DTI calculations?  If so, would it be better for me to change it to standard repayment now before applying or wait until they tell me I need to.  I would worry that there would be a credit pull if I make any changes but if they will have to consider the higher payment that I'll have in the future it will completely ruin my DTI.

Any information appreciated!

Thanks.

I believe with USDA they calculate the payments into your DTI, but for FHA they do not if they payments dont start until a year away or more. Maybe someone more knowledgeable would jump in the conversation.
