The figures on the HEFCE site are from 2001-2002, but these show
numnbers of students in receipt of DSA as a proportion of the total
number of students within each institution (along with a national
benchmark). Really what I'm looking for is figures for the number of
students who disclose a disability who then go on to claim DSA. The
figures may not be indicative of the true picture, but it would be
useful to have a rough idea.
