Can anyone enlighten me on the benefit rules with regards to Further Education. I am really worried as my son who regularly attends hospital and is under a Consultant Neurologist, Cardiologist and Consultant Neuropsychologist is really depressed. To be fair to the hospital team, I cannot fault their care in terms of the physical problems but despite him being under a Consultant Neuropsychologist, it would appear the Consultant is more concerned with the brain injury than his mental health. With his friend having enrolled on a course at our local college, we were thinking that with it only being a couple of hours a week, if my son were to attend the course, it might lift his spirit. My son is currently in receipt of ESA, MRC and LRM.
