This is available to all students with a SLD for provision of equipment aids and is independent of means testing. Application is included within the PN1 Application Form for Student Grants, Loans and Allowances. Application must be supported with an assessment of the student's SLD carried out post 16th birthday.
Contact the Student Finance Department of your local Authority for information and 'A Guide to Disabled Students Allowances'.
The applicant undergoes an assessment by the local authority to determine what equipment will benefit the applicant in their future studies, such as hardware, software, equipment to record lectures etc. The equipment is then ordered and set up by the local authority.
The PN1 form is available from March and should be completed as soon as possible and submitted, to ensure the process can be completed and equipment be in place before the commencement of the Student's course.
It is important that students with SLDs are not put-off applying for DSA because they do not think they have a disability.
