Hello once again I'm turning to this wonderful forum for some advice I will be going to uni from September ☺️ obviously it's something I need to inform PIP about i haven't yet but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how that will affect my claim seeing as it's based on anxiety and my lack of ability to leave home sometimes will it be withdrawn now assuming I will be okay to go to uni so I no longer need it ??

    Going to Uni is not a change of circumstances that needs to be reported. However, if your conditions have improved for the majority of the time then you should report the changes.

    Edit to add, i see from another thread that you're also claiming UC with LCWRA. If there's a student maintenance loan available to you then it will reduce your UC, even if you decide not to take that loan.

    They haven't not by much anyway I have been in email contact with my university and their support team has been fantastic I genuinely thought I would never be able to go to uni they have put things in place for me to be able to take lectures when I can and then be able to listen in on other remotely it's honestly been brilliant in terms of their support
    I do also have UC including the LCWRA component they have advised me to notify them in September when the change actually takes place

    I am really pleased to hear the university has supported you in the way you deserve @saram. It sounds like their support has meant you have been able to go to uni which is something that, without this support, you did not think was possible for you. How are you feeling about everything at the moment? Please do not hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you  :)
