SAAS and ESA/PIP

RachieRiot

I am currently on the support level ESA and PIP and I'm wanting to apply to university, using my SAAS to cover the fee's. I live in Scotland (I'm 24 and will be a mature student) and was just wondering what my options were and what affect it will have on my ESA and PIP. Really appriciate any advice.

You will be able to claim ESA whilst on the period between year1-2 etc. I was in the exact same situation. if you get Housing Benefit you should still get it based on being a disabled student. I got full rent paid whilst at uni with the full amount£7,000 odd from SAAS.
