Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) is support to cover the study-related costs a student has because of a mental health problem, long term illness or any other disability.

This can be on its own or in addition to any other student finance.

The type of support and how much you get will depend on your individual needs - not your household income.

You do not need to pay back DSA.

To find out more about eligibility, how to apply, and how DSA can help you, see GOV.UK: Disabled Students' Allowance.
