student benefits

Im a 26 year old student in my final year, living in my own home with a partner. Im currently living off my savings and its hard to see it waist away.

Does anyone know of any benefits I may be entitled too or anything I can claim to reduce the spending of my savings. I know very little about the benefits procedures

Thank you in advance for anyones assistance.

  • Most full time students are not entitled to any benefits, unless you are a lone parent or have a disability that makes you incapable of work.

    Your university will have an access to learning fund which you can apply to. You have to have already applied for all funding you are entitled to eg Student Loan etc.

    What course are you doing and what funding do you already receive?
