Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what provision her Department makes to assist with the living costs of disabled students attending university.

Disabled and non-disabled students alike can apply for loans to help pay for university or college tuition fees and to help with living costs. Some students may also be eligible for additional support where they have children or adults who depend on them. Disabled students can also apply for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs), which are not income assessed and are not repayable, to cover essential, additional, learning-related expenditure they are obliged to incur because of their disability. Information on student support including DSAs is available at https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/extra-help.
