Income Support

[woodelf]

If someone over 50 is already receiving Income Support and is offered a place in further education, thereby becoming a student, would that person lose or have their Income Support altered? I would rather ask this question of someone who has actually been in this situation, before any possibility of asking professional advice...where they tie you in knots...metaphorically speaking.

Only, I think, if you're also a lone parent or disabled.
