Pip and student finance

Can my daughter get PIP and student finance?
Does getting PIP reduce the amount of student finance?
Could getting PIP increase student finance?
Any response from students with real life experience would be greatly appreciated. I've googled it, but details are a bit hazy

Hi there,

If your daughter gets PIP this can actually increase her Maintenance Loan from us.

For example, if she gets PIP at any point she can upload a copy of her entitlement letter to her account. We can then review this and see if she's entitled to a higher Maintenance Loan (it's called a Special Support Loan).

She can upload the proof by logging in here: https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-register-login

Thanks, Graeme
