HI and welcome,Thanks @steve51 for the tag,Unfortunately Income Related ESA no longer exists and all areas are now Universal Credit. As you're living at home then you won't be able to claim UC because you're a student. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/universal-credit-and-studentsMay i ask if you're receiving either DLA or PIP?

Hello @Gabster and welcome to our online community.
I'm sorry you are experiencing financial difficulties at the moment. @poppy123456 is brilliant with benefits advice and I can see she is helping you already.
In the meantime, I've moved your post over to our ESA discussion group so people can better spot it and offer support.
Good luck with your studies

Welcome to the community @Gabster! Great to have you with us.
Here is some advice about the financial support you can receive during further education. You might be entitled to some of this depending on the household income.0 -
Hi @Gabster Welcome to the community glad to have you joined us
You say you have no money now, is your mum entitled to any benefits or anything, you may not be entitled to the child benefits now but maybe entitled yo other benefits dependant on circumstances
I am sure Poppy will be able to point you in the right direction if you giver her the info required
Hope you get something sorted0
