Exemption from meeting the language and knowledge of life in the UK requirements - age and infirmity.
It is possible to waive the language and knowledge of life in the UK requirement where it would be unreasonable to expect the applicant to fulfil it because of age or physical or mental condition. This would normally be done in cases where the applicant
is aged 65 or over.
The grounds for exemption of younger people need to be compelling, such as where the applicant:
i. is suffering from a long term illness or disability which severely restricts mobility and ability to attend language classes; or
ii. has a mental impairment which means that they are unable to learn another language.
