If you're a postgraduate course student and expect to incur additional costs while attending your course as a direct result of your disability, you should complete a DSAs application form and send the following to support your claim:
The application form to apply for DSAs is available our website within the 'Additional allowances you can apply for' section.
Based on the medical information you supply with the application form we'll decide if you should attend an assessment of study needs. If so, a letter will be sent to you advising you how to arrange an appointment at a registered centre.
You're required to complete an application for each year of study, however, you'll not need to send your medical evidence every year, unless your disability has become more severe.
You can apply for DSAs for your academic year at any time prior to the end of that academic year.
