ESA and Returning To College
Rossal
Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi, my daughter who is 20 is hoping to return to college in September after being ill, she was on ESA and then moved onto the work related group. I was wondering how it affects her benefit as it is a full time course (Health and Social Care Level 3). Will her benefit be stopped and if so what help can she claim? Thanks in advance for any advice.

ESA is now upto interpretation under LSC guidelines by colleges.
Eg some are now not funding ESA support group - WRAG is fine.
From a benefits POV - It depends on her form I guess. I mean if she said she was bedbound yet at college they may question it, but as long as her information is factual and accurate then it won't stop, in fact the college can give extra funding and support due to a low wage so speak to their student support office.0 -
It depends what type of course she is attending and what type of ESA she is receiving.0
