Rural living isn't easy if people don't drive. My friend has found herself in a situation with no partner (a recent development), children to get here there and everywhere, a baby on the way and no transport. There are busses three days a week into town - one out, one back on each day so no flexibility in times.
She has no shop within 5 miles, nor a park for the children, post office, nothing at all really. Her partner did drive so it wasn't a huge issue.
She will no doubt be on income support as well as the usual tax credits etc.
As I'm (thankfully) rather clueless about benefits and low income, I'm asking here. Is there any way she could be able to ask for subsidised driving lessons via some kind of scheme? She has experienced PND in the past and really needs the ability to get out by herself.
Moving house is an option, but one that hasn't been able to happen yet.
