Disabled Students Allowance
22 February 2013
If you have already been receiving the DSA please remember you will need to apply again for 2013/14 as follows (you do not need to resubmit your evidence):
- Undergraduates who are full-time and also getting 'core' student finance (loan/grant): you do not need to do a separate DSA application provided that you have ticked the DSA box on your student loan application form. In that case your DSA will be automatically renewed, However, if you have missed ticking that box then you should fill in the short form DSASL13/14
- Everyone else: you should fill in the long form DSA113/14 which needs to be countersigned by us - if you complete and send it to us we can sign and post it to Student Finance England (or other funding body).
If you are coming to SOAS in September for the first time please do apply for the DSA in plenty of time. It really helps if you have it in place before you start. If you need any advice on this please contact Caroline, the disability administrator, on disabilities@soas.ac.uk
