Hi, I am on ESA (contribution based) and PIP on mental health grounds. I recently contacted the DWP to say there had been a change in my circumstances and that I was going to take a class at the local college (4 hours every Monday morning). I lost my mobility component which is not the reason for this query. What I want to know is, if I take out a student finance loan for this course I am taking, will it be treated as income by inland revenue (even though the loan is paid directly to the college) and will it further affect my esa and pip simply by me applying for it? Thanks
