Hi I'm new to this so sorry if I've posted it in the wrong area. I'm currently on income support who also help pay for my mortgage interest. I have an autistic son who also has a kidney disease and a 4 yr old girl. I'm starting university in sept and I'm wondering if anyone knows what I would be entitled to. Many thanks :)

    Student finance and benefits is complicated to say the least.

    As a single parent you will be eligible for some benefits as well as loans and grants.

    My best advice is to contact your welfare department at your university and ask for their help.

    Have a look at this link https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/overview

    If you live in England there's a Loans and Grants Calculator link on Page 2.
