How long is DLA or SDP dependent LHA guaranteed?

I am on DLA middle rate care, and have SDP and LHA at the single bedroom rate(as opposed to the shared rate).
If I was able to get support and wanted to attempt a full time course,(a course considered by the college to be full time), then I understand there's a risk to my DLA and/or ESA if there's an issue making my argument, like if they decide I don't need DLA, and I have to appeal, and if my DLA gets stopped.
So in a worse case scenario, like if they stopped my DLA even temporarily,. Would I lose the higher rate of LHA that I have, or would the LHA be guaranteed if so, for how long is it guaranteed?

It lasts until either your condition no longer justifies it, or you no longer qualify for it.0
