I am a student in my 30s who is currently living at home.

I am not working, my mother is claiming benefits - our only household income, so I am wondering if there is anything that I am eligible to claim while at university other than my maintenance loan? Sadly, working isn't an option for me for the time being.
Thanks.


You should get a bursary from your uni. If you're disabled and are on PIP / DLA, then you can claim benefits. But full time students aren't generally entitled to benefits.

Hi welshstu,

You can call us on 0300 100 0607 so that we can check that you are receiving the correct entitlement amount.
