After a year's hard slog doing access courses and working part time, I've been offered a place full time doing the teaching degree I've dreamed of!
Now I know I can get a student loan for each year's tuition, and I know I'll be exempt from council tax, but I'm not sure what else I can apply for or claim? Would I qualify for income support? Housing benefit?
The university has bursaries and grants for low income families (there's just me at home and my two children who are at Primary school) but I think I'm exempt from applying as the University that's offered me a place wasn't my first choice.
I can't ask my parents to help me out any more as they are getting on a bit now.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted. ...
