My youngest is starting to get unconditional offers for a masters degree. The only thing I!!!8217;m aware of is a bursary which he is part using to pay the course fees.
He lives with us at home and is intending to work part time at weekends but this will bring in a small wage. Might there be any benefits he could claim?

Not unless he is disabled or a lone parent.
Masters students usually have time to work in the week too, some of us worked full time whilst doing ours. They may also be eligible for a maintenance loan from Student Finance.0 -
I claim ESA and PIP but that is because I am unable to work due to disability.
I presume that due to the bursary that is why he can!!!8217;t claim the postgraduate loan?*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200
