    Heya @Tallsegs333 oh wow, are you looking forward to the course? I'm afraid Poppy is taking a break at the moment, so you're stuck with us less beings. 😉

    If there's no kind of loans etc linked to the course, then it should affect your benefits.

    Hi @Tallsegs333 I think that might have been a typo, shouldn't affect your benefits. I've recently done a few government funded courses and they're great. What are you studying if you don't mind me asking? 🙂

    Aww thank you! Sounds like a great idea, especially with the way the world is now, the skills are essential. You might find you get the bug for it like me. I finished one, and was straight on with learning something new. Really enjoying it. 🙂

    Hi @Tallsegs333, you can and they may wish to reassess you. You might find this link helpful as it provides more detail as to what you need to do and how to go about it - Reporting changes that affect your PIP - Citizens Advice 😊
