Can you study as an adult on benefits?

Hi, I’m wondering if I’m unemployed. Would I be able to study, as an adult and claim benefits?

I don’t know what the rules are but I eventually want to make something of my life. But at 38, it’s going to be tough.

Yes you can. However, if there’s a maintenance loan available to you then it will affect means tested benefits such as Universal Credit. Even if you decide not to take that loan.

Hi poppy,

Can you be a student on normal UC (with commitments), LCW and LCWRA?

also, I believe you can also claim UC, as a student, if you have PIP?

is this correct?

When you've been found to have LCWRA you have no commitments.

I already answered your question in my previous comment.
