Hi julez5

Good Afternoon and Welcome ???

I’m very very sorry to hear about your son.

Yes the “Benefit System” can be cruel some times.

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what it is you're asking, as it's unclear by your post.

Students can only claim Universal credit in certain circumstances and a PIP award doesn't automatically mean someone has a limited capability for work.

Students and UC is also extremely complicated and i'd advise you to get some face to face advice from either welfare rights or a law centre near you.
