We were recently told by Hackney LEA that they wouldn't pay for a computer's
insurance, despite it saying quite clearly in Bridging the Gap that the DSA
can cover such costs (page 17 under 'What do the DSAs cover').
A suitably terse letter was sent back and we are awaiting a reply.

Dear all
Has anyone had any problems with refusals for insurance costs to specifically
cover computer, monitor and other items purchased through the DSA?
