    Hi
    In September I hope to start university, I'm currently receiving disability allowance (the max amount) and my mother is receiving carer's allowance. Will I continue to receive the allowance in college? Do i have to notify them/does it make a difference? Will my mother have to notify them? I will be moving out of home for college.
    I think I will qualify for the full SUSI grant as well, I'm trying to figure some sort of budget.
    Thanks for you help.

    You both have to notify the respective sections of the change in circumstances. Your DA will remain but her Carers will most certainly come to an end.
    Yes you will be eligible to apply for SUSI too.
