Studies and Benefits

I get DLA and ESA Support Group payments thanks to appeals and your helpful information booklets. I am thinking of doing some post-grad studies online, even though I can't sit or stand for long. If I did decide to go ahead do I have to tell the DWP?

Hi L27,

As this would be classed as a "change in circumstances" you should inform the DWP.

Please be aware, (which I think you may be) that this may be taken into account with respect to your ESA SG and DLA awards. Especially if it involved anything contradictory to the reasons that you were given the awards.
