5. Time out for other reasons

If you take time out of your course for another reason, you usually still count as a full-time student, with no additional entitlement to benefits during your time out. However, if you are on a modular course and take a full year (or more) out of the course, you may no longer count as a student and may therefore be able to claim universal credit under the normal (non-student) rules.1RVS v SSWP (ESA) [2019] UKUT 102 (AAC)
