Hi Tina,
If it is paid placement then it could be issue - if you contact the
local Disability Employment Advisor at JCP they will confirm and
correctly provide you with some guidance.

Subject: Incapacity benefit and placements
Dear All
I would be grateful for advice or information about any issues for
disabled students whose incapacity benefit might be affected by them
going on a long term placement as part of their degree course. I am
writing some advice for academic staff and want to know if this is an
issue they should be aware of.
Thanks
Tina
