3. Disabled Students’ Allowances
If you are a student with a disability, DSAs can help to meet your extra
costs when studying. They can contribute towards specialist equipment,
a non-medical personal helper, travel or other programme-related
expenses.
To qualify, you must have a physical disability, a specific learning
difficulty (such as dyslexia), a long-term medical condition, or mental
health difficulties (such as depression, anxiety or an eating disorder).
If you qualify for a student loan, you will be eligible for DSAs (even if
you do not take out the loan). Your costs must arise as a direct result of
your disability.
If you would like further information, please book an appointment the
Disability and Dyslexia staff in your Student Centre:
Avery Hill: 020 8331 9444
Greenwich: 020 8332 7868
Medway: 020 8331 9794
