Hi,
I gave up studying for my Tea Masters because I became disabled. At the time I was working full time and just got a £5000 loan to cover my course fees. However I now cannot work and the £5000 went towards supplementing my income while I was on sick leave for almost a whole year.

Im becoming depressed at home and in pain all the time and the UK Tea Academy are offering online seminars with recordings so I could restart my studies and give my life purpose again and not feel so stuck in limbo, but I need £5000 to cover the fees again and with no job I can’t get a loan so I wondered if there were loans for adult learners with disabilities?

I know it’s a long short but I figured it was worth asking.

    Hey there @Tegan I'm sorry to hear you're struggling at home. Can I just check you've been speaking to your GP about your mental health concerns? 
    I'm not 100% on all the things you could get , but I have found a government run student finance program here that may be worth looking at?
