After graduating technical college, I became disabled and could not pay back the student loan. Then I waited for 4 years to receive disability benefits. Now the federal government is deducting money from my disability funds every month and has done so for the past 4 years. I can't get a doctor to fill the necessary forms to be forgiven for the loan. What else can I do? Please help! Can I get help to pay off a student loan if I became disabled?

Well as usual the answer to this question is going to depend on a lot of factors. You should definitely be able to get a special income-based repayment plan. Checkout the different options detailed in Grants to Pay Off Student Debt to see if there is something there that would be relevant to your situation.
