Post Graduate Course and ESA/PIP

Hi,
After speaking to someone earlier re my previous work and what she was wanting to study at University I momentarily got back my enthusiasm.
So I am currently looking at doing a masters to see how I manage and to get me back into the world of the living and if all goes well it will help me back into work so be good in both fronts.
I currently get ESA income based and PIP daily living component. One of the courses I was looking at has the fees paid and as its a post graduate course I am not entitled to any loans any ideas how any of this will effect my current benefits ?

Full time students can't usually get benefits but those getting pip are treated in the same way as non students so you can keep you pip and ESA. The only problem would be if the demands of the course contradict the reasons you get ESA/pip in which case they might reassess you.0
