Updating UC on Starting Uni

AUDHDGAL

Hi,

I sent an email to my work coach Thursday and still haven’t had a reply.

I’m just wanting to know what specifically I need to do on their portal (UC) to adequately update about uni.

I want to do everything properly and make no mistakes, as I know this can lead to trouble.

Any help appreciated!

Hi @AUDHDGAL thanks for your query

Just so I understand fully, are you due to start studying at university this coming September? And what benefits are you currently receiving?

@Alex_Scope thank you for your response!

I’m currently getting LCWRA, so just wanting to know what information I need to provide.

Any help appreciated!

You need to “report a change of circumstances “ tell them that you’re starting Uni and for how many hours.

In a previous thread of yours you said you have applied for PIP. If there’s still no current PIP award in place and you’re a full time student then your UC will end in the assessment period in which you reported the changes.

Part of the criteria for full time students is you need a PIP award and LCWRA.

You can but need to have both LCW/LCWRA and PIP in place before becoming a student in order to be eligible.
