hello all,
does anyone know where I can get a loan - from a charity or scheme - for a course I'd like to learn.
I'm on PIP & UC & am a Pwd wheelchair user & female - if any of that helps with direction to look in.
Thanks muchly

Hi and welcome,Student finance would be one of them. https://www.gov.uk/student-financeDisabled students allowance. https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsasDo be aware that some student loans can affect the amount of UC you're entitled to, even if you decide not to take that loan, it will still be counted as income.Students and benefits are extremely complicated and for this reason i'd advise you to ring the disabled students helpline for further advice and they will be able to give you all the information you need regarding loan and your benefits.Also if you haven't been assessed as having limited capability for work then as a student you won't be able to continue with your UC claim at all.PIP of course won't be affected because it's not means tested.

thankyou so much for your help; I'm blown away by your speed and knowledge! Boy am I glad I joined! )
I will def ring the Disabled Students Help line as my next port of call - it's a minefield!
Thanks again Poppy, I really appreciate your help, it feels so good to know now that there is something I can do next.
All the Best
