Maintenance Loan + Grants or help

Hi, I do have Panic disorder and Anxiety of being around people, so I applied for a distance learning full time on Arden University (Have received my conditional letter), will I be able to get any maintenance loan or grants? I live alone with my 2 year old son, I'm confused of what I could get. Thank you.

Hi there, To be eligible for the Maintenance Loan for distance leaning we do require evidence to be provided. A Medical Declaration which has been fully completed by yourself and a qualified medical professional.
The Medical Declaration will confirm that you have a disability which prevents you from attending a university/college in person; this alone will be sufficient to award a Maintenance Loan. Thanks, Angela

Hi, Dear Angela thank you for your reply. I have contacted my therapist he will sent the form to my GP so they can do it, but can take up to 28 days. Also, would I be able to get the Child care grant? My son goes nursery for 2 mornings during the week at the moment. Thank you

I'm a full time student. Or is just because I'm on a distance learning? Thanks
