Demystifying the DSA assessment process

Our webinar on 15 July 2020, covered the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) assessment process – what’s involved and what this will look like during COVID-19.

The session, designed for students with a vision impairment who are about to start university in England, covered:

What equipment and non-medical help support you may be entitled to
What preparation you need to do for the assessment
What the assessment process will look like during COVID-19
What will happen next
