Investigate support schemes for adults with special needs, who wish to apply for university
There are hundreds of adults out there, who suffer from a condition, and who are receiving benefits, primarily to support them on a weekly/monthly basis.
Many of these adults can only afford to attend college, and feel the fear of university costs being a barrier to their higher education, also considering the cost of living, travel, daily essentials, etc.
The government should investigate support schemes for people who suffer with conditions. The support could even be a discount in university fees, along with financial support, or even only pay half price for higher education?
Regardless of which benefits you receive, benefit types should not be a limit to university support, because in many places (ie; dental care, eye treatment, etc), incapacity benefit is exempt from free or discounted schemes.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
