Income Support for a disabled student
Mon 17-Aug-09 09:13 AM

Morning

Am i right in thinking that a student in receipt of HRMC and HRCC can get IS as a disabled student? If so now that we have the wonderful ESA can they still claim IS without a med cert?

Thank you

No, they have to claim ESA unless they fit into another group - lone parent, carers etc, or can claim IS under linking rules.
