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
