About DSA
Disabled Students’ Allowance is a non-means-tested financial support for students in higher education. It covers the study-related costs students may have because of a mental health condition, long-term illness or other disability. Support could include specialist technology, equipment and training. It can also be used to pay for non-medical help, such as specialist mentoring or specialist study skills support, and travel.
We’ll take claimants through the process, from carrying out their study needs assessment and recommending support, to delivering equipment and providing training. Our specially trained assessors will carry out a professional assessment, making it clear what they can expect from us and what they will need to do in return.
We provide support for Student Finance England (SFE) and Student Finance Wales (SFW) students in Wales, the Midlands, London, the East of England and Northern Ireland.
