well it is Friday afternoon...
add to this a requirement that the HE provider must demonstrate that they
have made the necessary "reasonable adjustments" and have not treated the
candidate/learner "less favourably"

Subject: A suggestion
That the Student Support Regulations pertaining to Disabled Student's
Allowance be amended to the effect that;
In order for a student to be eligible for Disabled Student's Allowance
and be referred for a needs assessment, they must not only prove they
have a disability but must also demonstrate to the satisfaction of their
LEA that their disability has a significant effect on their ability to
study.
Will leave you to kick that one around for a bit :)
