can i apply for DSA for INSOMNIA
I have struggled a lot with really bad insomnia for a couple of years now, and have seen the GP for it, been prescribed sleep meds and also been referred to a sleep disorder clinic. It is an ongoing thing and it does affect my every day life a lot, however insomnia is not usually classified itself as a mental health issue and usually indicates a different mental health condition (which we haven't found out about yet maybe). I am not sure if this means I am able to apply for DSA under a mental health condition? Please help.

You'd discuss it in a meeting, but things I've read about is stuff like devices if you need help for note taking, or a certain number of taxi rides to uni
