DSA

Hi,

I am doing teacher training this September and have had both course and maintenance loan approved. My first payments are expected on the 1st September 2023.

Is it too late to apply for DSA? I was diagnosed with Dyslexia in May and I’m not sure if this means I could be entitled to some extra support? If I was to add this to my application, will in change anything loan wise or delay it?

Just to add I didn’t have the diagnoses when I first applied 🙂

Many thanks,

Emily
