    Disability premium sounds like smething related to UC. You can only get UC as a student under circumstances.

    side note, but it might be worth looking at desk based work you can do from home.

    You may be eligible for the Disabled Students Allowance in addition to your student loan. It's not automatically paid, you have to apply for it, which can be done online using the form on here.
