I am a single mother of 2 kids (age 8&4) and in full-time Masters study at the university. Will be able to get universal credit benefit?

Sorry, OP, I don’t know but this website would seem to suggest you can.

I believe you can but any student loan you receive is treated as income.

I think only 25% of the Masters loan counts as income.
