2024-2025 Funding Information 

What is DSA?

Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) is support to cover the study-related costs you have because of a mental health problem, long-term illness or any other disability.

This can be on its own or in addition to any student finance you get.

The type of support and how much you get depends on your individual needs - not your household income.

What conditions would people be able to get DSA for?

  • learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, or ADHD
  • mental health condition, such as anxiety or depression
  • physical disability, such as if you’re partially sighted or have to use crutches
  • long-term health condition, such as cancer, chronic heart disease, or HIV

How to apply?

If you are a full time student looking to go to university with support from DSA when you submit your student finance you will be able to apply for DSA using the same account online. You will be asked to submit evidence to help you with your claim (see below). THE MORE EVIDENCE YOU ADD THE BETTER. Student finance can take up to 14 weeks to make a decision.
