Disability Alliance Training

Benefits and support for disabled students in higher education course

About the course

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

This course is suited to anyone providing advice or support to students in higher education eg disability workers, Student Services staff and advice agencies.

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
