I am on UC LCWRA and PIP, I got into university how will this affect my finances. The course has an NHS bursary of £5000 per year. Does my benefits automatically stop.

    PIP is not affected. UC will take into account student income you are entitled to including any maintenance loans you can get (even if you don’t take them). This may mean no UC is payable.
