Petition Action

Widen the criteria for the £500 student payment to include Level 3 students.

Petition Details

Level three students have had just the same amount of disruption as level 4+ students due to covid19. They should be eligible for the £500 payout whether at regional colleges or Grammar school.

Additional Information

They have had the same amount of disruption- same extra expenses. Having to purchase technology, better Internet connection etc. The social impact on them has been just as devastating as L4+ students. Why have they been excluded?

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Your petition seems to be about the £500 Covid Disruption Payment for students studying in Northern Ireland. This is something that the Northern Ireland Executive and Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or House of Commons, is responsible for.

If you want to raise this issue you could contact your MLA, or raise it with the Northern Ireland Executive.
