Benefits!
Hi, I am new to the forum. I currently get Pip enhanced rate for both mobility and living. I am claiming ESA and waiting for an assesement. I want to do some online only part time study so went to my universal credit diary and asked if it would affect my benefits. They havn't answered, just made a phone appointment with a 'work coach' on Monday. This has put me into overdrive anxiety as I am in no way able to work currently and expect to be placed in the support group of ESA. I just thought an online course, which I can do little and around energy levels would be good, but regretting even asking now!

Hi @penlost and welcome to the community 😊 Part-time study shouldn't affect your benefits as long as it doesn't go against any of the limitations you've declared, such as studying something physically demanding when you've said you're unable to do such things. Maybe the appointment is just a coincidence.
