Open the original- What it measures
- The GOV.UK page explains that a new computer can be funded if the student is assessed as needing one. The £200 applies to the computer, not to the software that runs on it.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say how this applies to a computer the student already owns. Check the entitlement letter.
