Hi,
This is my first post so apologies if I seem to ramble a bit!
I am married with two young children and I work part time, I am also a student with the OU. My husband is also a student with the OU and not currently working. At the moment we receive CB,HB,WTC,CTC, and my wages form a 16hr a week job. All of this allows us as a family to survive until my husband and I complete our studies enabling us to find decently paid employment.
I will finish my degree next year and need to undertake a year postgraduate course at a brick University where I will then be classed as a Full Time student, the hours I will need to attend will mean I will have to give up my job and I am extremely worried as to how we will live, I do not want to get loans etc... For attending my degree I will receive a £6000 Bursury but ecause I will not be working I will lose my WTC. Does anybody know what I will be entitled to and what I will lose or if there is anywhere I can find out this info, I have been looking on Net but seems to be a jungle....
Thanks in advance Mel.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
