I’m still learning about the EHCP process, but I’ve always felt something didn’t seem right with her plan. The EP report is nearly 3 years old and was…

Using PIP/UC to pay for part time in person College course?
Above. I'm waiting for a call from Sheffield College to invite me to a skills assessment for a level 1 programming course down at City College, however, as I was 50 the week before last, I somehow doubt I'd qualify for the course funding, therefore would I be able to pay for it with PIP/UC money?

As a late 40s neurodivergent adult - Am I too old to return to College?
I'd like to do a part time game design course at Hillsborough or Peaks campus but they keep telling me that because I'm considerably over 25, I'm too old to qualify for the course! I'm pretty sure this is illegal under various legislation but anyway, I'm 50 3 weeks today, am I too old to be a student again?

Returning to College part time on PIP/UC?
I've been trying to get on a computer course at Sheffield College for years but they keep telling me I'm too old because I'm considerably over 25! Anyway, even if I could go, due to my age I probably wouldn't qualify for funding so could the PIP/UC pay for it as I doubt it'd be cheap depending on the course level etc?
