Northern Ireland Mature student with kids benefit entitlement

Does anyone know what benefits a mature student with two children is entitled to in Northern Ireland? My partner works and I am just about to commence my year PGCE full time. I have applied for Student Finance but it doesn’t even cover my diesel for the year to and from Coleraine. Thanks
