That's the course I was due to start as well. However, as I'm going away with work for four months, I'll have to start it when i get back. Are you studying for BA(Hons) in Business Studies?

Let us know how you find the course and good luck with it!

Sorry if this has been asked before. Im seriously considering doing an open university degree in health and social care. Ive been to the website and it says i would be entitled to the fees paid as i am on a low income and receive working tax credits with the disability premium.

My question is. . . if i qualify for the course fees paid now, what would happen if in April my WTC were to be stopped (can see no reason why it would be, but as i only work approx 16 hours a week, if they stop the disability element then i would no longer qualify.) And i have no ideahow easy it is to get the disability element as i qualified automatically this year.

Would i then have to pay the course fees back? As i dont want to start something now and then not be able to pay if this was to happen.

Nope just tax credits and low income - so qualify for free prescriptions and things too.
