Student Finance Disability Allowance Dyspraxia
Basically what the title says — has anyone got a student disability allowance for their dyspraxia before? UCAS suggests I could get something but wondering if it was possible.
If it helps the unis I’m looking at are Durham (current firm idea), Edinburgh (waiting on reply — could be firm) and Liverpool (insurance).

This is a couple of years old but is all about moving to university with dyspraxia
I don't know if it mentions what DSA provide specifically but might be a useful read

In addition I also got given printer credit up to I think £100? - this was redeemed after I showed reciepts proving I'd spent the money
what you get might be different though, they talk to you and try to assess your needs and what is going to be helpful to you specifically
if you've got any other questions about disability support at durham more generally I'm happy to try and answer

Don't know anything about it personally, but I know that some people have gotten it for dyspraxia. There's an organization called This Student Needs that helps with application!
