can I study with open university and still get benefits?

[lyssie29]

Hi I'm a single mother and haven't got anyone to look after the kids. One is due to start school and the other will go to playgroup in January when she's 2. I wanted to better myself and get a good job to provide for them. If i study at home but get a part time tuition loan which is only a loan to help pay my fees not to help with the cost of living will I still get income support?

You can get benefits if your course is part time (a certain amount of hours I think).
If this is the case you can get benefits and also financial support for the course fees. They should pay all of it if you're on income support.
