Hello
Our son is going to uni later this year. He has severe OCD and anxiety. We will apply for DSA as he will need his own room with en-suite and in catering halls because of his compulsions.
Is there anywhere else he can get financial support? All suggestions are welcome- thanks in advance.

Ah, just one thing you should be aware of, the DSA does not cover accommodation requirements. It can only be used to pay for external helpers and such. It's b******, but that's the Tories for you. It's designed to discourage disabled students as much as possible, there's a reason 60% of em don't apply for it. Generally, it's more hassle than it's worth - student loans are a better bet.

Thank you - I’ve been reading about how difficult it is to get the funding but every little helps!
Thanks so much for your guidance.

Financial support is mostly from PIP, DSA doesn't provide financial support in that respect. It just reimburses you in certain areas.

Yes he was with CAHMS for years but as he’s turned 18 they no longer treat him. He has weekly therapy and daily medication.
