Thanks @Ami2301 for the tag.Hi and welcomeWhether or not you can claim UC and be a student will depend on your circumstances and what course it is.May i ask if it's full time college course you're planning on doing? Will you be claiming any maintenance loans or is there a maintenance loan available to you? If so then any loan will affect the amount of UC that you're entitled to.Do you also claim either PIP or DLA or do you have dependent children?
