What benefits can I apply for as a Disabled student

I have insomnia, anxiety+depression, Combined ADHD. I applied for disabled students allowance I just wanted to know what I can get from it can they pay for transport as my journeys are quite long (3 hours daily). If they give me a laptop do I have to give it back? Can I get an Ipad for notetaking?

They only provide £200 quid towards a laptop (they provide a provider for this). Although, I bought my own and they gave a £320 (I think) reimbursement for it. I am not entirely sure about transport costs, you will have to ask them; but why would you want to travel so far?

I'd rather live at home than accommodation its 1.5 hours to get there and 1.5 hours back
