Education Committee considers grants for students receiving injury compensation
MPs Simen Velle and Anne Grethe Hauan introduced a private member's bill to exclude compensation payments for serious illness or personal injury—and returns on such payments—from the means-testing calculations used by Lånekassen, the state education loan fund. The Standing Committee on Education and Research recommends that the government return with a solution for students affected by reduced grants due to injury compensation, though the Progress Party supports the original proposal.
