Benefit

ARN

I receive PIP and ESA benefits, and my illness is real, with a diagnosis from my doctor. I am also attending a language college to learn English, but I hadn’t reported this to the DWP. A few days ago, a compliance team scheduled an interview for me and said that I’m accused of being a student. After that, I received a letter asking which years I attended college.

Do you think someone reported me? And will I have problems with my PIP and ESA payments?

Hello @ARN and welcome to the community.

Studying at college shouldn't impact your PIP but it may impact your ESA, depending on whether you are/were entitled to any student finance or financial support while at college.
