I am starting university in September 2018 and have a rough idea of the loans and bursaries available to me but....they only add up to around 9500 a year. I am a single parent of a 5 year old boy and have been advised I should be able to still get universal credit to top up my loan and keep me going as there is no way that amount would support my son as it only just covers my rent!
Iβm hoping someone out there knows, or is, claiming universal credit as a single parent student and can share their experience and rough idea of the amount they are receiving .
Panicking I canβt afford to support my son after a long process and tough interview process I would be devestated if this is the case .
