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 implications of moving into higher education
• Employment and support allowance and how it is affected by study
• Claiming disability living allowance
• How loans and grants affect income support and housing benefit
• Who can get housing benefit
• Students and tax credits
