The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how she plans to support disabled students following the implementation of changes to Disabled Students' Allowance funding.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) continues to be available to help disabled students with the additional costs that they may face in higher education as a result of their disability. DSA can fund a range of support, including specialist equipment, non-medical help (human support such as specialist one-to-one study skills support or British Sign Language interpreters), and additional disability-related travel and accommodation costs.
