It’s difficult to understand your current situation, but I assume you were the only adult in your house and receiving the single-person’s discount which is probably 25% of your current 50% discount.

If you have a child over 18 at uni but still living at home, you will continue to get the discount while they are in full time education. You won’t get an extra discount.

It likely depends on why you get the 50% discount, but I wouldn't have thought you'd get a further 25% on top of it, sorry.
