Are you a disabled student in higher education? THEN CLAIM IT!

AbilityNet (UK) has launched the DSA Claim it! campaign to encourage students in Higher Education to take up the Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs). One of the last education grants that doesn't have to be repaid, DSAs are available to any UK University student with a disability, on-going health condition, sensory impairment, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, which may impede their ability to study. 

The grant is provided by a Funding Body such as Student Finance England or NHS and can cover the cost of specialist technology (both hardware and software) as well as special support to facilitate the learning experience. More here.
