3. Get evidence of your disability...you should discuss this with your current educational establishment or your Funding Body (usually an LEA) who will be able to clarify exactly what is needed...see: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/leagateway/index.cfm?action=address.list
4. Contact your Funding Body to get a Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA1) application form. Complete this and return it to your LEA with your evidence. Your LEA will consider your application and decide if you are eligible for the DSA. If you are, they will write to you stating that you should get an Assessment of Needs Report and provide you with a list of Assessment Centres in order to do this...see: http://www.nnac.org
