I am a disabled unemployable veteran. The Dept of Ed cancelled my student loan because I am 100% disabled and unemployable. Do I have to report the debt as income?

In October 2016 the VA determined, based on service connected injuries, that I am both 100% disabled and unemployable. The Dept. of Education subsequently cancelled my student loan and sent me a 1099-C. do I have to report the amount of the cancelled debt as income?
