Studying on LCWRA

I claim LCWRA and have been looking into an online course for childhood practice, but I’m unsure if this will affect my benefits. It would require me to do an in-person placement two days a week but the rest of the course would be online; I claim LCWRA for a few issues (autism, hearing impairment as well as depression and anxiety,) and I’m not sure if this course would go against what I claim for. I’m not even sure I could handle the course as of yet; I’m merely thinking about it and wanted to make sure. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Is it classed as full time or part time? If it's full time then you must also be claiming a disability benefit such as PIP/DLA or ADP.

    If there's also a maintenance loan available to you then it will affect your UC, even if you decide not to take that loan.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi, the course would be part-time and as far as I'm aware, I won't be offered any form of maintenance loan.

    No one is "offered" any loans, you will need to apply so you need to make sure there's nothing available.
