Student Disability Allowance

[Eeneymush]

Ok, the reason for the question is that I have applied to a University as a welfare support worker and wanted to ask about benefits disabled students are able to apply for.

Can full time (HE) students claim DSA, ESA and PIP or are there exceptions?

I would also like a bit of clarification on 'income related and contribution based payments if you can explain. I have done some homework but it isn't really clear.

obviously, any useful sites/info etc, massively appreciated...

Thanks in advance
