| Comment | My partner studied whilst on benefits, here’s what she’s got to say:
PIP is fine, if you’re on that it won’t be affected.
Any sort of UC, as far as she knows, will only continue if you’ve been declared unfit for work by the DWP.
Unsure on old style housing, might be ok.
Old style ESA might affect your student loan, my partner’s experience was the college saying to contact DWP and the DWP saying to contact the college, so I guess if you want a go of a kafkaesque nightmare you could have a go at that.
She also suggests phoning CAB (citizens advice bureau) they’re entirely on your side and know their shit inside out. They’ll also help with any forms you need to fill out.
Good luck, hope you manage to get something sorted. |
