Anyone been down this road? They are now supported learning for disabled people at college where you are assigned someone to give you extra help and assistance like pushing a wheelchair and extra tutoring.
Are your benefits affected by college funding? College can provide additional funding for house maintence and travel costs? Also, disabled people on PIP/DLA can apply for special support element, however unsure if thats with a student loan and you get special support allowance with it.
You may be eligible for a higher amount of Maintenance Loan. Plus if you already claim Incapacity Benefit or Employment and Support Allowance, you may be able to carry on getting it as a student.

Hi,
I’m from Aberdeen. I’m planning to apply for a Postgraduate programme (my dissertation proposal will be on Bioarchaeological Science) at Aberdeen University in 2022. Whom should I contact with my questions about additional funding for disabled students?
Thanks.
