Carers Allowance and studying help please

[ohnoitsdarla]

Hi,
I am currently a single mum caring for two disabled children with zero help (financial or otherwise) and I am rotting away.
I'm nearly 50 for context.
I have always wanted to go to university and know the course I want to do.
I am in receipt of Universal Credit which I believe will be stopped when I get a student loan.
I also get Carers Allowance. Will this also stop please? I think it does because the government say I can't be caring for someone if I'm a full time student.
Which is wrong isn't it? Because I'll study when they're at school and in bed.
I don't see how I can pay my rent and bills for my family if I just have a student loan.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If youre a full time student then you can’t receive CA, and your student loan will affect your UC. Have you calculated just how much you would get as a student loan? Have you considered part time study?

Are you in receipt of child disability payment (Scotland) or Disability Living Allowance (England and Wales)? I'd strongly urge you to apply. You don't need a diagnosis. Social Security Scotland can help with the CDP application or Citizens Advice Bureau/ Cerebra elsewhere. I'd also contact the university to see if there's any financial support available.

Thank you for responses.
My ten year old does receive DLA, we're in England.
That's a good idea to contact the university, thank you.
