What kind of documentation would I need to request a forbearance on my student loan?

Diana asked:
I’m not actually done with school yet. I had to take time off due to health reasons (I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was just doing very poorly). I’m going back this fall, hopefully. I’ve been getting bills. At the moment, I don’t make enough to make loan payments. My income is barely enough to pay my rent and utilities. They sent me a forbearance request form so I’m going to fill it out and mail it back. Do I need to send any additional paperwork or should I just send it in and see what happens? Are they picky about granting forbearances? This is a government loan, if that makes any difference. This is causing me great anxiety so any answers would be appreciated.
