Studying in receipt of ESA & DLA?

Hi there,

I am currently in receipt of ESA support and DLA care and mobility.

I had to attend a tribunal for my ESA regarding my loss of hearing. I was placed in the support group and told I never had to have another interview regarding it.

I am receiving higher rate mobility and middle rate care in DLA for functional weakness to my legs.

Its been 4 years since I went to college and i'm looking to go back. There is only so much time I can spend inside the same 4 walls. I want to start re-planning a career, but i'm unsure on the affect of my ESA because of being in the support group?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
