Student Finance queries
I have a conditional offer for university this September and am looking at starting to apply for Student Finance. I am currently on Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. I would like to know about how Student Finance would affect Universal Credit once I have applied and what income do I get from it? I am on low income and currently do not work due to disabilities. I am maybe going to look into a student ambassador role though and maybe some jobs around the university once I start in September.
I am still waiting back to hear from the university for Disabled support and Disabled Student's Allowance as I gave them some medical records a while ago.

The following website has information on UC and students:

You can get an idea of what you might get for your maintenance loan by using the following calculator. Student earnings are not taken into consideration when calculating household income (only unearned income such as interest from savings):
