If you are embarking on your journey to University this September and you have a long-term mental health condition- have you applied for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA)? DSA can help you in so many ways! Follow this link for more information... ow.ly/jUia50AUJQ0

We know many students will be receiving their A level results and confirming places this week - if you think you might need additional mental health support for a long term condition you can apply for DSAs now or at anytime during your course: gov.uk/disabled-students-all…
Here is a visual to better explain DSA and the resources that it can give to you! #ClaimItDSA #IChoseToDisclose
