should be comparing a person with a disability who is not attending the course

to pay for costs of going shopping etc. The person that is attending the
course would have the costs of attending their course on top of the other travel
costs that someone who isn't on a course has.

Sorry, you are wrong here. The compasrison for DSA must always be the
additional cost compared to a student without a disability. The point that was made
is that LEAs should not take into account DLA when calculating the additional
cost.
