I am 55
I am 55, volunteering, with only one source of income, which is a work pension, and less than £17000 pa. I made my position very clear, and was told I qualified for funding. I completed unit 1 of my course over 3 weeks, then logged on to complete my first assessment, to find I no longer had access. Checking my emails, I found one received that day, stating I didn't qualify for funding, apoligies for any inconvenience! I emailed to enquire what had changed and was told I didn't qualify as I would need to be on benefits, or a low wage, or looking for work. Why would they assume I wasn't looking for work at 55! It was very upsetting and felt very unprofessional. I'm actually wondering if it's some sort of scam?
