As a higher education, full or part-time student living in England, you can apply for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) if you have a disability.

This includes mental health conditions or specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia.

In order to receive the DSA, you must meet the definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010.

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

For the 2023 to 2024 academic year:

• Undergraduate and postgraduate students can get up to £26,291 a year for support.
• Plus extra travel costs due to a student’s disability.

For more information and details of how to apply, please see the DSA webpage.
