Free laptops for children with SEN article

On the Benefits board, there's a link to an article called "Free laptops for children with SEN". Why does this link take me to the article about the free laptop & internet access page? There's nothing about SEN on that page.

    :huh:
    ...The main bulk of grants ran out in August and are now only for children with disabilities or a special educational need...
    ...Your child needs to have a disability or special educational needs.
    Home Access packages come with Assistive Technology software (including text to speech, text prediction, mind mapping and screen magnification) and equipement to support children with disabilites (where your child receives DLA) or special educational needs...

    But perhaps over-riding all this is the comment at the top of the page:
    IMPORTANT UPDATE... All of the home access grants have now been given out, and there are none left. Sorry if you didn't get one in time - this guide has just been left as an archive.
