    To be honest - I would ring your local college and ask Re an Access course part time. Will give you 3 "A level" equivilants, allow you to mix with your own age, offer support if you have a bad health spell and also may have other financial support Re Travel and Equipment.

    Distance Learning at A Level is tough! If your disability means crowds or travel are not an option then stick with the DL route, but if you can make it in, you'd get a lot more support and make some really good friends and have a more active social life.

    If you are not receiving Disability Living Allowance I would advise you to check if you can continue to claim ESA and attend a full time course of education.
