Help please

Hi I wonder if anyone can help please
I am at open university but qualify for the Maintenance loan due to a disability. I have just been told that I’m being changed to universal credit from tax credits.
Does anyone know if universal credit will still take my maintenance loan off my money as I receive it due to being disabled and distance learning?
I don’t qualify for the special support grant as open university is classed as part time even though I’m studying full time!
Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

Hi Geena,

You would need to check with Universal Credit as this will be their eligibility criteria.

Thanks, Clare
