Student finance on PIP

hammers1970

So I’ve decided to go to University, I applied for a Student Finance loan, which has been approved, but I didn’t realise that there are different Student Finance loans for students with disabilities, I currently get enhanced mobility & standard living allowance on PIP, would this make a difference to the amount of Student Finance I receive, as I didn’t mention it in my application.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can add your health conditions afterwards. PIP doesn't automatically entitle you to the Disabled Students Allowance but does mean you are highly likely to qualify for it.

You just need to fill in a form and either upload it on your student finance account or send it via email.

Help if you're a student with a learning difficulty, health problem or disability: Eligibility - GOV.UK
