This opened up a huge can of worms when I raised it on dis-forum
earlier this year (May?) - worth checking the archives. Some
people had used DSA to pay for support workers' accommodation,
and some had got the student's Social Services Dept. I don't think
the student should have to use their DLA - this is for either mobility
or personal care, depending on which component is being paid.
