in Benefits and income
Hi daughter has had a pretty rough time she is 18 and attending University we have claimed PIP if they go with assessment report she will get higher daily and lower mobility just awaiting decision,
can I ask cause I have no idea is there anything else I should be applying for her (I'm her appointee under DWP) I don't know rules for Esa or universal credit, housing benefit etc

    If she is single without children there are no other welfare benefits she can claim while a full time University student.

    According to the above an award of PIP might increase her student loan entitlement.

    As she's at Uni did she not apply for student finance? The majority of students claim this to help while at Uni both my son and daughter did.

    Yes but she wasn't entitled to a lot it literally just covers her rent x
