Hi David, from seeing your guidance with Lou's question I'm wondering if you can help me with some advice too!
I'm in receipt of UC, receive standard allowance , child care component and also carer component and waiting to hear the outcome of my LCWRA assessment. I receive PIP and ESA in the support group and I claimed UC following a separation from my husband over a year ago.
I also recently have been awarded council tax reduction.
I have the 3 children living with me in the family home which is a joint mortgage with the hubby. My 20 year old has autism and ADHD and is currently on a supported internship program and on PIP. My 17 and 13 year olds are both in full time education, one college level and other secondary.
I would like to consider studying something at degree level part time to give me a purpose, improve my mental health and feel more worthy, perhaps meet new people and get out of the isolation I feel, however I am concerned about how this will affect any of the benefits I receive as I would need to apply for a student loan.
Can you help with any advice please?
