Loan Discharge due to disability

I was awarded Total and Permanent disability by Veterans Affairs on 4/1/2016. I applied for a student loan discharge on 7/12/2016 through NelNet. I checked the website yesterday, and it says status: Permanent Diacharge. Does anyone know if this loan will be completely deleted from my credit report or will it say closed. I don't want the previous late payments to keep my score low. Will I have to pay any taxes on the discharged amount? Total discharged is about $24,000.

My DH has been on appeal to increase his rating from 70% to 100% and/or IU for about 2 yrs now.  Last update on the VA benefits website was a yr ago when he submitted the last NOD.  Do you mind telling me how long you fought to get yours?  He has about $11K in student loans that are in forbearance, but I believe accumulating interest because he can't work to repay them now.

Did you have a representative helping you get your case expedited?  Or are you an OIF/OEF vet?  You can PM me if you don't want it posted.  Thanks!
