Students have to meet the residency requirements - post graduate students
are also eligible even though they cannot have a student loan, even if they
have had DSA for a previous degree.
I have had quite a few students this situation has applied to, and it was
only when things first changed that LEAs queried it - it shouldn't be a
problem now at all.

Subject: Re: DSA for students on second undergraduate course
When DSAs were linked to mandatory awards they were available
once only because students received mandatory awards for their
first degree only. When the mandatory award was done away with
and replaced with the student loan, the DSAs were attached to that
instead. Thus DSAs are available on every course on which the
student can qualify for a loan. That is the only condition they have
to satisfy, they don't even have to take out the loan, simply prove
they would be eligible to do so.
