Do you have extra study needs due to your condition? The name doesn't matter.
Yeah I do, I just cant seem to find anyone else with that condition thats all. I didnt choose the name, or it, no need to be rude at all, not a good trait to have honey

It was a factual reply - I don't read it as rude. I'm sure that wasn't intended.
The essential point is that you need to have third party written proof (GP, consultant etc) which describes your symptoms and the impacts they are likely to have on your ability to study and deal with uni life. The name of the condition is secondary to those factors.
Once your DSA application is accepted, you will have a face-to-face assessment with a specialist advisor, who will discuss your needs and make recommendations as to what should be supplied. This comes in the form of practical help (note taker, mentor etc), study aids (e.g. Device to record lectures), facilities (e.g. Extra time or breaks during exams, a photocopying or book allowance).
Basically, DSA offers help to level the playing field with able-bodied students. This generally comes in the form of practical assistance rather than additional funding.
It's not so much the medical condition which attracts the assistance, but the symptoms it causes which would disadvantage you at uni. There isn't a list of "approved" conditions which will automatically entitle an applicant to DSA help.
