Default Important question. I've been looking everywhere
Hello,
I'll be blunt. I want to return to University, and can only handle very part time. Am I able to do this and still retain my only income which is $750 in SSDI payments. Also, because of my disabilities, can I get schooling paid for.
Lucy.

Hi lucy,
I don't know the answer to your question but I think quite a few do go to school and still get disability money.
Also check up in our useful sticky above on the main page for this topic- I think there a re sites that you can find answers on.
hopefully someone with first hand knowledge will reply too.

Check at the university for grants, scholarships, etc. Just don't get involved in student loans.

I'm glad you are feeling good enough to go back to school. I'm hoping to be able to do that next fall to finish my degree.

I have been getting SSDI for many years, and I went to school for one semester and it did not effect my SSDI at all.

I went through a CDR (disability review) right after I finished the semester at school - and I informed them on the CDR that I had gone to school, and my benefits did not change at all and once the review was over they said I was still disabled.

So for me, going to school did not cause any problems with my benefits at all.
