ESA as a student? was created by annie-rose
Hello,
I have been claiming ESA since October 2013 and I'm still on the assessment rate as I have not been sent an ESA-50 form and I'm terrified of the medical assessment.
I have been on a leave of absence from University for several years and have applied for maintenance loan, a grant and tuition fee loan in the hope that I will be able to return this September (it is my final chance to return before I am automatically withdrawn).
I was just wondering if anyone could let me know if returning to my studies will affect my assessment rate ESA?

From your previous posts you are receiving Income Related ESA I would expect at least some of the monies that you receive in regard your studies to be deducted from your ESA, have a look at the following factsheet for more details.
