The evaluation into Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) is due to conclude in summer 2018. The evaluation examines the effectiveness of DSAs as a whole, including the recent reforms requiring students to contribute £200 to the cost of DSAs-recommended computer equipment. The department will consider the research findings when they are available.
