Thanks but it's useless? I've checked that many time.
I will appreciate if anyone had any previous experience.

Of course you can study while partner is a carer. I suspect what you actually mean is "what money will we get?"

1. Contact student loans
2. Partner should do their own investigation based on their own circumstances

"btw do we have to inform the carer allowance and other benefits?"

I have no idea what you mean here. Inform who? Of what?
