 of residence, which suggests to me that it would be convenient for the
 student to have a PC at home. The GP also stated the need for the student to
 eat regularly, and this will not be possible if he is unable to work from
 home. It is a tricky one! >>

It's the GP's job to describe the difficulties, not propose solutions which
should be based on both the individual's circumstances and their course. IF
this IS the only evidence you have then it's not a tricky question at all. There
is no justification for recommending a PC on the evidence presented.
