Hi I’m gonna be studying online BA Hons criminology & Physcology in August 2026. Anyways I receive uc with children element & lwrca . I’m thinking of taking the maintenance loan as I read that dwp will still cut money from my uc even if I don’t take the loan . So I’m better off applying for the loan Does anyone know if that’s true or not ? I’m really confused as to what I shall do
