It has been revealed that scores of disabled undergraduates in Norfolk are included in hundreds of students who have started their university life without the loans and allowances which they require for their survival.

Disable students are suffering a lot

Students that are having disabilities are some of the hardest hit by a backlog of applications being dealt with by the Student Loans Company (SLC), and they are now being forced to live off emergency handouts from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Disabled students allowance

They are relying on the disabled students allowance in order to pay for lifeline services that includes specialist computers and software, sign language interpreters and note takers.

Among the other undergraduates, who are waiting to get the loans, some are down to their last few pounds, while there are others that are relying on their parents to help them over in this critical situation.
