Hi



I am working with nursing students and for the last two or three tears

seconded nursing students are entitled to DSA from their LA. It strikes

me, hover, that not all LAs are aware of this. I am lucky that I have

not had any problems with our local LAs.

It may be true - the NHS bursaries site says that seconded students

don't

qualify for DSAs.
