Training - Benefits and support for disabled students in higher education

One of the main concerns for people who claim incapacity or disability benefits is how their benefits will be affected by study.

Aimed at those who advise students in higher education, this one-day introductory course provides an overview of the benefits, loans and grants available to disabled students.

It provides practical ways to help students protect their benefit rights and maximise their entitlement.

The course includes:

The benefit barriers to accessing higher education
disability living allowance and how it is affected by study
incapacity benefit and what to do if it is reviewed
How loans and grants affect income support and housing benefit
Students and tax credits
