Hi, I am a part time student on incap. As long as you are part time and not on income support top up as well as incap it shouldn't do - the thing you will have to watch out for is that the DWP (benefits agency) don't find you fit for work on the grounds that you can do a course. You are supposed to write to them and explain why you can do the course but not work - if you have your doctor's backing there shouldn't be a problem but do seek advice from the citizen's advice bureau or a welfare rights service before writing in.

Your money shouldn't be affected at all. But if you are on Incapacity Benefit, check you are not entitled to the Special Grant - this means that you can keep more of your money.

Don't take any notice of the low life who went on about 'get a job' - everyone who has been through disability and learning knows there is a massive difference between being at uni for a few hours and the work environment - if only the level of support you receive.

Good luck and keep going!
