Are you a new incoming undergraduate student currently receiving PIP or Universal Credit because you have dependent children, you are a carer and/or you have a registered disability or long term health condition which qualifies you as having limited capability for work? Our team of benefits experts from the Student Money Advice team will be providing a short presentation outlining which students are eligible to claim Universal Credit and how the interface between student funding and means tested benefits works. There will be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation.
