HI,PIP isn't means tested, so no. If you claim any means tested benefits like ESA/UC or housing benefit then any student loan you receive will affect these.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @Diamantik, and welcome!
As Poppy says, this shouldn't be an issue. You may find this Turn2Us page on studying and benefits helpful. It includes the following:Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance
You can get Personal Independence Payment or Attendance Allowance even if you are a full-time student.
If you have disabilities, are aged under 65 and need help with your personal care or mobility needs, you can get Personal Independence Payment. If you need help with personal care and are aged 65 or over, you can get Attendance Allowance.
Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance are not means-tested. This means any income (including student grants or loans) or savings you have are ignored.
If activities you do as part of your course suggest that your health has improved, your Personal Independence Payment or Attendance Allowance may stop. For example, if you are getting Personal Independence Payment because you said you have problems with walking and your course involves a lot of physical activity, this could cause your award to be reviewed.
