Disabled Students Allowance

If you are a higher education student living in England, you can apply for a Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) if you have a disability, including a:

• long-term health condition
• mental health condition
• specific learning difficulty, for example, dyslexia

You must meet the definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010.

The support you get depends on your individual needs and not on income.
