PIP/ESA Student Finance

mazworld15

Hi does anyone have experience of completing an application for student finance for a young man who gets PIP and ESA? The question is have you supported yourself financially in the last 3 years?

The person claiming the ESA should be aware that maintenance loans affect Income Related ESA. If any part of their ESA is Contributions based, this won't be affected.

Also be aware that if being a student contradicts the reasons why they're claiming PIP and ESA then it could go against them when they're next re-assessed.
