    Anyone seen this. It does not apply to us but maybe it may help someone on here

    http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/



    The 3 criteria you need to meet are:

    1) The child you are claiming for must be attending a state school
    2) You must be in receipt of child benefit
    AND
    3a) Currently claiming free school meals
    OR
    3b) You must be entitled to one of the following:
    Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
    Income Support
    Child Tax Credit (but not Working Tax Credit)
    Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit but not Savings Credit)
    Income-based Employment Support Allowance
    Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999


    3 packages are available to apply for:

    1) Laptop or desktop computer and relevant software, with full tech support for 1 year
    2) Internet access for 1 year
    3) Both of the above combined

    To apply you need to ring the following number: 0333 200 1004.

    You will then be sent an application form and receive a decision within 3 weeks of returning it.

    If successful, you are given a card to the value of just over £500 which can be used at one of the scheme's nominated computer retailers to spend on either a laptop or a desktop. They also send you a list of which packages you can buy so you can choose one that best suits your needs. Not sure how the internet side of things works but again it would be with a nominated company.

    There's also an extended area included in the scheme for Assistive Technology, that aims to enable children with disabilities and learning difficulties with specialist equipment and software.

    Lastly, applications are being dealt with on a first come first served basis.

    Found on hotdeals

    Hope that info helps. This is all I know though so if you have any more queries ring the number provided or see the deal link for the website.


    My youngest had a grant for something similar.;)

    This looks good Marshallka, not sure if this scheme is in Wales at the moment though, but very useful for whoever is eligible, good find.:T:T
