Disabled Students’ Allowances are grants to help meet the extra course costs students can face as a direct result of a disability or specific learning difficulty. They are aimed at helping disabled people to study on an equal basis with other students.
Eligible full-time, part-time and postgraduate students can apply for Disabled Students’ Allowances.
The amount you get doesn’t depend on your household income. Disabled Students’ Allowances are paid on top of the standard student finance package, and don’t have to be paid back.
What they can be used for
Disabled Students’ Allowances can help pay for:
specialist equipment you need for studying - for example, computer software
a non-medical helper, such as a note-taker or reader
extra travel costs you have to pay because of your disability
other costs - for example, tapes or Braille paper
Eligibility
You can apply if you are doing:
a full-time course that lasts at least one year (including a distance-learning course)
a part-time course that lasts at least one year and doesn’t take more than twice as long to complete as an equivalent full-time course (including a distance-learning course)
