How to tell Universal Credit that I’m going to uni?

in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi there!

I’m due to start a full time undergraduate degree on September 11th so obviously won’t be entitled to Universal Credit and my LCWRA anymore. How do I go about updating them? I wish I could just close my account but there doesn’t seem to be the option!

Thank you ❤️

    There is an option to close account on my universal credit screen, on the "Home" screen its the last option.

    Though if thats the right way to do it I don't know, hopefully someone more knowledgable will be able to assist

    If you go to home page on your UC journal, it says report a change, then it says what do you need to tell us about? Bottom option is request to close your claim. If you still have a problem you can just send a message via your journal and I am sure they will advise you what to do. Good luck:-)

    Before you rush to close your UC claim, do you also receive PIP?
