NHS funded students with a disability or specific learning disability may be eligible to apply for help to cover extra costs they incur whilst in training as a direct result of their disability.
The additional allowances can help with:
- providing specialist equipment
- non-medical assistance
- general allowance
- specific disability related travel costs
DSA is not means tested. No contribution towards the allowance will be required from yours or your family's income.
You can apply for DSA if you're not receiving a fees only award or are a seconded student receiving a salary.
