DSA Support for Students with a Specific Learning Difficulty

admin58712

You can apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) if you live in England and have a disability that affects your ability to study such as a specific learning difficulty, for example, dyslexia or ADHD

You must also:

· be an undergraduate or postgraduate student (including Open University or distance learning)

· qualify for student finance from Student Finance England

· be studying on a course that lasts at least a year


Information on applying for the DSA is available from: https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsas

If you are studying to be a nurse there is a separate scheme: NHS Disabled Students’ Allowances


If you are dyslexic you will need a full diagnostic report that meets DSA criteria


For further advice and information contact: jo.armitage@send5.co.uk
