Applying for DSA 2011/12

I am starting university in september and they have sent me a link to the application form for DSA. However, it says it's for 2010/11 and there is not one for 2011/12.

Is anyone else applying for DSA at the moment? Do we have to wait for the 2011/12 application form?
I should be applying if my doctor ever writes a letter...
Yeah we need to wait for the 2011 form, think it will be out soon... :erm:

Yes I need to get a medical letter now, too.

I'll ring student finance and ask.


So helpful posting the link. Thank you. I really find the DirectGov site confusing and not laid out well.


Thanks so much for this! I got my doctor's letter in the post today so I just need to get myself to a photocopier/scanner.

Edit: You know where the form says give information on your difficulty? Do you copy out the information from your doctor's letter? :confused:

Edit: Oh it's ok, I guess you just enclose it in the application form when you're sending it off.
I forgot you don't send it by email... :blush:

Oh great, I have to renew my passport!

No you don't.
if it is for ID what do you think people without passports do?

I don't really have any other forms of ID...
And I need to renew it anyway, I refuse to spend my summer in this country. :tongue:
You don't have a birth certificate?

I have no idea where it is... I'll have to ask my mum if she's kept it somewhere and knowing her, she's lost it!
you can get a replacement from Somerset house. Cheaper than a passport!

I'll look into it, thank you. :smile: I will still renew my passport anyway, I desperately need a summer holiday. :tongue:

I think I've done that already...
Thank you! I'm still renewing it because I want to go on holiday in the summer! :biggrin:
And I found my birth certificate. Now I've found out my mum lied about my middle names and they're on my bloody GCSE certificates but that's a drama for another day... :rolleyes:

I know this has probably been asked before but when are you meant to apply for DSA? Is it too early to apply now? :redface:

no, apply now.

Thanks for being patient, I must sound like a total n00b! :blush: :tongue:
