My 19-year-old child graduated from 11th grade this year and entered college on a budget. We are IDPs. Is she entitled to free meals? Because we were refused, he pointed out that she is no longer a child, but an adult.

children who have the status of a child who suffered as a result of hostilities and armed conflicts;
students of educational institutions located in the territories of radioactive contamination, as well as children evacuated from the exclusion zone, children who are disabled as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.
