Disability under employer??

LIGHTNIN — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:36:44 GMT

ON DH EQ cr it says disability under employment.

Can they do this? I guess they can,cause they did.

I mean is this hurting or helping his score?

Can this be removed?

BTW,he is disabled draws SSDI check and works PT.
He's had over 50+ ortho surgeries over the last 40yrs.
Trying to work because staying @home gets very,very depressing.
Working also helps a little paying the bills.

Thanks to those who reply

Employer doesn't affect score.

Maybe try updating to "self-employed"?

As sidewinder said, this isn't used in scoring. Lenders will see it --don't know if it would affect them. They usually want to hear directly from the applicant about income source anyway. At least SSDI is steady.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's medical problems. No one begins to understand about chronic medical issues until it happens to them or to someone they're close to.

edit to add: but don't do anything that might jeopardize his disability status!
