Hi,I'm not sure exactly what it is you're asking, as it's unclear by your post.Students can only claim Universal credit in certain circumstances and a PIP award doesn't automatically mean someone has a limited capability for work.Students and UC is also extremely complicated and i'd advise you to get some face to face advice from either welfare rights or a law centre near you.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
