Living costs for access course?

Hello there...
I'd like to do an access course so I can go on and do a degree. I'm 28 and although I have A-levels the grades are appalling due to me being severely depressed at the time. I'm still not well mentally, though this is due to lack of previous support/treatment and traumatic experiences rather than a necessarily ongoing thing (am about to start treatment/therapy).
Anyway, due to my MH issues I am unable to hold down a job... so is there ANY kind of funding for living costs for access courses?

Is it full time or part time? I've just finished my Access Course that as 15 hours a week so I was able to keep all my benefits and complete the course.0

You would normally be allowed to continue on ESA etc as you are disabled.0
