Full time education & benefits if on disability?

Filan · 2009-06-22 16:48:14

I'd really like to be involved in education in September . Inactivity is not good for me. I'd like to either a Masters or a Second Level course at a College of further education. I'm not sure if I'm eligible for either and keep my benefit. Does anyone know?. Thanks Alan

Depends on what type of benefits you're talking about.

I get my blind pension and I still got it when I was in college. I don't think these type of benefits can be stopped even in education full time.

From experience blind pension can't be touched.
