What is DSA Support?

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) is a UK government grant designed to help cover the extra costs students may face due to a disability, long-term health condition, mental health condition, or learning difficulties like dyslexia or ADHD. The DSA provides a wide range of support tailored to each student's needs, ensuring they can fully engage with their studies.

What DSA Can Cover:

  • Specialist equipment: For example, a computer or assistive software if needed due to your disability.
  • Non-medical helpers: Such as a specialist mentor or note-taker.
  • Travel costs: If your disability makes it difficult for you to use public transport.
  • Other study-related expenses: That are specifically linked to your disability or condition.

DSA does not depend on your household income and does not need to be repaid. The amount of support you receive is based on your specific needs as assessed by a professional.

How to Apply for DSA:

  1. Application: Submit your DSA application through your regional Student Finance body (e.g., Student Finance England).
  2. Provide Evidence: You'll need to submit evidence of your disability or condition.
  3. Needs Assessment: After your application is approved, you'll attend a needs assessment where an assessor will discuss your required support.
  4. Receive Support: Once approved, your support will be arranged, whether it's equipment, mentoring, or other resources.
