everything you need to know about disabled students' allowance + haul 

made an updated version of this with everything you can get from DSA and for what reasons things are given out ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-omIRdhd_fVU.html

Just to expand (0:35) - CAMHS is a the UKs children’s mental health service, they have a good heart but from mine and others experiences it is pretty shit and doesn’t actually help, sometimes even makes things worse. I felt this video and just wanted to thank you for sharing! Easy to understand and follow! Also I’m glad to hear that it’s not like the horrible pip process! But thank god they extended it to COVID aha.

"hope you enjoyed it, if you didn't...that's not my problem basically" 😂💛 love the videos

This video is super duper helpful! I have my needs assessment soon and had no idea what to expect because like you I found no info until your video :D

a video i didn’t even know i needed thank you so much girl

YOURE AMAZING! KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING!! THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 🥰

Thanks, this was really helpful! I've just got my diagnosis after 9yrs of fighting the nhs to find out what's wrong with me... I don't yet have the confidence to go through the PIP process just yet but will defo apply for disabled student allowance asap. Thanks for the helpful vid!

this was really helpful, thank you! i have asd and mh issues, and i didn’t know i qualified for this, but i’ll be applying for when i go to uni next year!

This was so interesting! I’m waiting for my DSA to go through so I think I’ll film a video about it aswell. Love your channel so much gal xx

Hi Saskia, I just applied for it and DSA was absolutely amazing just waiting now. Thanks for the information. My assessment was 2 hours long but good. Thank you so much

Thank you! I struggle with adhd and I didn’t get any support at uni for it idk why didn’t even think I’d be eligible for DSA

This was so informative xxx I hope you have a great time at uni😁

So glad I came across this, I literally had my needs assessment this afternoon!

Thanks, this video was very helpful! Have an amazing day/night xx

Thank you for this video! 💜

Thanks, this has been helpful. I started uni last month. I'm entitled to DSA and have been given the equipment list which is just specs of each laptop. I'm really struggling with what to choose. I've been allocated note taking software but wondering if the standard sized laptop will be too big to fit on those tiny lecture chair/desks. I'd love to know how you're getting/ got on with the standard lenovo laptop, size and weight wise. Thinking of upgrading to a more compact lighter Windows laptop on the list for a bit more money as I walk a lot too.

Hi Saskia! Super useful video, thank you! :) What specific symptoms/reasons did they give the whiteboard for? Xx I think a whiteboard would be super helpful for me but I'm not sure how to phrase things in the 'right' way

hello, thank you for making this video! if this isn't too personal, can I ask why you were given these specific pieces of equipment? I'm waiting to have my assessment and have been granted DSA for borderline personality disorder, but I don't receive any study support right now from my school and I'm not really sure what DSA would offer to me/what would be helpful for me.

This was super helpful! I need to get applying ASAP but my gp is being,,,, useless lol. Glad you could get so much help though and that they were so understanding! Out of curiosity how did you find out that your uni would repay the money for the laptop? Did they just tell you or did you have to specifically ask? xx

I was wondering when I should start applying for it? I haven't had all my offers back yet but I'm anxious to start. The only thing I worry about is my doctors haven't given my conditions definitive diagnoses, they say things like 'symptoms indicative of fibromyalgia/dpdr' so I'm really anxious about it!

Thank you for this, just completed my assessment, but still unsure on what equipment and things I’ll be receiving

hey, just wondering, how do you decide on the resources they give you ect, is it something that’s decided in the meetings and emails you mentioned x

Thankyou this has been very helpful x

Oh i hated PIP so much, felt like a second class citizen in mine 😅 I have my assessment tomorrow hopefully its much better ❤

just intrigued- when you first received your laptop was the fan noisy/ loud/ you could hear it? I have just gotten mine today and its gets really hot quickly and starts making loud fan noises cause the fan is on the bottom of the laptop

Very helpful and funny haha! Thank you so much

Hey can I ask what size screen your laptop you received is? Would you say it’s too big/ small? I’ve been recommended a 15.6” one but I’m not sure if that’s too heavy to carry around uni

Do they send the money to your account or do they just buy the equipment themselves & do they check up on you to see if your actually spending the money on equipment or on other things for example clothes?

Thanks that was really helpful

The laptop they suggested for me is an i7, 500GB storage and 16GB RAM. I’ve also put in for iPad and Apple Pencil which he said might be harder to get but he’ll fight for it

I’ve just got my dbs, how was pip for you? I’m really worried about the assessment x

Do u keep the extra equipment forever like even after studies?

Thank you!

Can you apply for DSA more than once? Like for more than one degree, one after another?

Thank you so much! 💓. Can i please ask you a question? Do you get any direct money because of your condition? I have a mental condition and i thought dva gave you a certain money every year? Correct me if im wrong. If they dont then who gives

I have dyslexia, dyscalculia and mh issues, do you reckon I would be suited for DSA, all of the stuff you got given was so useful

Do you choose what laptop you can get or do they choose for you?

do you get given any extra money from DSA?
