Hi,

I am just looking for a bit of advice. Basically in about 18 months i need to go to university for 2 years full time for my job so i will not be getting a wage into the household & i have a mortgage with 2 kids living with me full time. Is there any benefits i could claim or anything to help me pay for my mortgage during this time.

Any information that would help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Scott

    Have you asked your employer if they can assist in funding you if this course is a requirement for your job?

    Benefits? Really?

    If your employer wants you to go to Uni to further their business, they cannot simply stop paying you.

    If it's something you want/need to do to further your career, that's choice and you must fund that choice.
