Benefits/Tax Credits
Many full time students are not eligible to claim benefits, but there are some exceptions. If you have a disability, or if you are a lone parent, or a part-time student, or if you have a partner who is not a student, you may find there is something you could claim. The benefits and tax credits system is complicated, but the Advice Centre staff can help you find out what you are entitled to. Please visit The Advice Centre and ask for a benefit check.
