Open university

Hey I joined open university and applied due to wanting to study online as of my long term disability but am kind of confused if I got accepted or not as after 2 days I revived a student home login and to choose modules aswell to apply for student finance I was also wondering would I get maintenance loan as I have long term disability and revive aswell PIP personal independence payment..? Thanks

With a long term disability you can often get universal credit while studying with OU. Any student maintance loan you get will reduce universal credit. Take detailed advice from a benfit advisor.

If able to move to Scotland you can get OU free or a lot cheaper.
