What is the Disabled Students Allowance?
Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) are designed to help pay for extra costs you may face as a direct result of studying with a disability, a mental health difficulty, a specific learning difficulty like dyslexia or an autistic spectrum disorder such as Asperger's syndrome.
DSAs are not means-tested, so your parents' income will not be taken into account. Getting DSAs will not affect any other benefits you receive.
If you are in receipt of Disabled Students' Allowance please check the box in Online Registration.
To find out more about the DSA, to see if you are eligible to apply for the DSA, or to learn more about the application process please go to the Disabled Student Allowances web pages.
